Darrell Johnson - Who is God - Episode 8: The Holy God

Whatever we think about God impacts everything else about us. In Isaiah 6, at the time of Uzziah’s death, Isaiah sees and image of God on his throne. For even though Uzziah dies, God never dies; he sits on his throne eternally. Further, Isaiah reveals that those who attend to God always and forever sing, “Holy, Holy, Holy.” They do not sing, “Wrath, Wrath, Wrath” or “Love, Love, Love” for holy is what God is. It is not just an attribute. And this is what we are to be also: “Be holy as your Father in heaven is holy.” This word holy has three meanings: 1. To be separate; 2. Wholly other; 3. Pure: radiantly pure, sinless, without defect. We struggle to be holy as God is holy, but in his great love God touches our unholiness with his holiness on the cross, allowing us to stay in his presence.
