The Holiness of God

The Holiness of God
Scripture: Isaiah 6:1–7; Psalm 14:3; Isaiah 40:25; Luke 6:45; Proverbs 25:4

God’s holiness is not just one of His attributes—it is His very nature. When we truly see God for who He is, like Isaiah did, we begin to see ourselves rightly. His perfection reveals our sinfulness and our need for salvation. We cannot meet God’s standard through effort or comparison with others. Only through Christ can we be made righteous. God does not merely remove our sin—He refines us, shaping us into vessels useful for His purposes. Understanding God’s holiness should lead us to worship, repentance, and a deeper desire to pursue Him.
