Yes, holiness is also a drawing to God.

Man was created in true holiness.

But man sinned and because of God's holiness and justice, it required a withdrawl of God from man.

Now God in the OT created means of atonement between God and man to be done regularly, but this was only a temporary measure until the Lamb of God would come to make the supreme sacrifice once and for all.

Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
