“Woe is me, for I am undone!” The great problem of the world today — and of many professing ‘Christians’ nowadays — is a loss of the magnitude and wonder of the Holiness of God. This Holy God is not to be joked about, trifled with, toyed with, bargained with, or ignored.

The holiness of God describes and defines God as different than His creation. Holy is the only attribute and description of God that is mentioned three times for superlative emphasis. He is Holy! Holy! Holy! The holiness of God is not just an attribute (or, a description) of God. It is the very beauty of Who God is. It is the perfect sum total of all that God is and how He deals with all His creation. For God to be holy means that He is set-apart and different.  He is holy MAJESTICALLY — because he is different than his creation in his essence, in his being, in his perfections, in his God-hood.  He is holy MORALLY — because is he totally set-apart and distinct from everything that is profane, sinful, and corrupt. He is holy DELIGHTFULLY — because God is infinitely happy and perfectly delighted in Himself and in His perfections.
