Can we see God without holiness?

   Holiness has always been God's standard, pattern, and pathway to eternity with Him in heaven. Omitting from holiness is like omitting from seeing God because holiness is His nature, and there is no other way but the way of holiness. 

  If someone wants to meet the leaders in any political sector or most of these prominent men, it must be on their terms, and not everyone is permitted to visit them. But we are talking about God, neither is He into politics, and His position is far bigger than that. He does not decline invitations made through prayers, and if He is to be part of anyone's life, His term is for the person to be holy.

  We can easily differentiate between God and Satan; we can say that God is everything good while Satan is everything bad. It takes God to be pure to be everything good and Satan to be impure to be everything bad. This means that if everything about God is good and pure, then anyone willing to see Him or to encounter Him must be as good and pure as He is. Hebrews 12:14

  The only time an unholy person will have the privilege of seeing God is when he acknowledges to forsake sin to seek God genuinely. It is a moment of purification from sin through the blood of His son Jesus Christ to be worthy to see Him when He shall appear in glory. 1 John 3:2 

  Moses with his in-law's sheep, got to a mountain and saw a burning bush, but the fire did not burn it up. And God called him and told him to remove his sandals for where he was standing is a holy ground Exodus 3:1-5. That mountain was called the mountain of God; maybe because it was dedicated to Him, and because it is His dwelling place, it automatically made that environment and even the ground holy.

  God also told us that He is holy and to be like Him, He expects us to be holy.  1 Peter 1:16; Leviticus 19:2

  Regarding the question of whether we can see God without holiness, it is a no. Because the eyes of God can not behold iniquity in Habakkuk 1:13, because when the children of Israel were to meet God at Mount Sini, He first instructed Moses to consecrate them for two days before His visitation in Exodus 19:10 to show that He is holy and to meet Him they must be holy too.

  So, there is no place in God for a sinner, and a sinner is under condemnation until he accepts the finished work of Christ on the cross. John 3:1-7
