"Holiness" isn't about being more "loved" or "accepted" by God...it is about POWER. The more we conform to, and follow, the image of God...the more the Spirit of God can use us to do the work of his Kingdom.

Holiness is the practice of living out our identity as sons and daughters of our Father in heaven…as we live into that identity we gain the authority of our Father, the King, to do the work of His Kingdom
