If you think God is concerned with His holiness in the Old Testament, consider the fact that holy is mentioned 431 times, not counting the word holiness. The Hebrew word for holy is “qodesh” which means “apartness, sacredness,” or “separateness” showing that God is altogether holy, sacred, set apart or separate from His creation. The idea is that G...
The Greek word used for holy or holiness is “hagios” and means much the same thing that the Old Testamentword “godesh” means, which is “pure, morally blameless” or “set apart” as in set apart for holy use, which is what the saints of God have been called to. The word “holy” is found in the New Testament 180 times and if you used holiness, then it’s...
The holiness of God is one of the most difficult of all of God’s attributes to try and explain. It’s like trying to describe the Shekinah glory cloud in a physical way that accompanies the presence of God.

Why isn’t it God the Holy Father and the Holy Son of God? Perhaps it’s because the primary work that the Spirit of God does is to make men and women holy by convicting th...
By the way, holiness is not the way to Jesus; Jesus is the way to holiness. We can’t get holy by our best efforts. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit to make the children of God live holy lives. We are told to “Go out of the midst of her, my people! Let every one save his life from the fierce anger of the LORD” (Jer 51:45) just as we are told in...
Jan 4, 2022 · When Peter repeats the Lord’s words in 1 Peter 1:16, he is talking specifically to believers. As believers, we need to be "set apart" from the world unto the Lord. We need to be living by God’s standards, not the world’s. God isn’t calling us to be perfect, but to be distinct from the world. First Peter 2:9 describes believers as "a ...
