Holy

God is 'holy.' This isn't a common word for us these days, so we might not have the best understanding of what it describes about Him, but it's really important! It means that He is entirely separate from everything and everyone else. There is literally no one like Him—not even close. But holiness also refers to His perfect goodness & moral purity. He has never sinned or failed and He has no weakness. His perfection means that He is completely opposed to everything that is evil. He cannot stand evil and does not let it go unpunished. He is always right and perfectly fair. We need to know that about God! Before Jesus, no one could come close to God; people couldn't see His face or come into His presence. He is holy and they needed to know WHO they were dealing with! You and I have no right to have any connection with such a perfect God either, except His holiness also provided a Way. We are sinners & God never lets sin go unpunished, but someone has already been punished for our sin... and that person is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Because God is completely fair, if we are believers in Jesus, then we will not be punished again. The price has already been paid! We can draw near to Him because of Jesus. We need to know how amazing God is...He is not like us or anyone else. He is holy. As you think about these verses today, let it form the right foundation of who God is in your heart.
