There is nothing and no-one who can satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts other than the Lord. King David who was also known as the sweet psalmist of Israel wrote these words: "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple." A modern day psalmist expressed the same hearts cry through these words:
"You are holy, holy
Lord there is none like you
You are holy, holy
Glory to You alone
I sing Your praises forever
Deeper in love with You
Here in your courts
Where I am close to Your throne
I've found where I belong"

[To separate,] What is written about holiness in the Jewish Bible and what did the Messiah teach about holiness?
The historical Messiah about whom it is written in the original version that later was redacted into the ”gospel of Matthew” had the title Ribi (similar to Rabbi) and was named Yehoshua. His name was later redacted by Hellenists into “Jesus”.
The original teachings of Ribi Yehoshua – the Messiah – was totally in accordance with the directives of the “books of Moses” and was later distorted to what is no found in the “gospel of Matthew” [note 1]. The followers of Ribi Yehoshua – the Messiah – was called the Netzarim (de-Judaized to “Nazarenes”) and they did their best to practise the directives of the “books of Moses” non-selectively; and in order to follow the Messiah today one is required to do ones utmost to practise the directives of the “books of Moses” [note 2]. Neither Ribi Yehoshua nor his followers started Christianity. They didn’t teach the “gospel”. They didn’t follow the ”NT”. [note 2]
He agreed with the definition of holiness in the Jewish Bible that is: Living a holy lifestyle is doing ones utmost to keep the directives of the “books of Moses” non-selectively, including not eating pork and not eating shell fish.
To follow the Messiahs teachings – leads you into observance of the directives of the ”books of Moses” – and leads you into a living and real relation with the Father, which is very meaningful!
