We can't do anything to "attain" holiness. God did that for us in Christ, (Col 1:22) "In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:" He tells us to become what we already are in Jesus, but that is not "attaining" but living out what we already are.
AMEN!
