Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!

“Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like Thee, glorious in Holiness, fearful in Praises, doing wonders?” ~ Ex. 15:11

   

The Seraphims of Isa. 6:3 “…cried unto one another, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His Glory.” John saw The four Beasts in Rev. 4:8 and he said  “… they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”  We continue our study today concerning the Holiness of God. It is difficult to talk about the Holiness of God in one session. There is so much to be covered when we meditate upon our Holy God.  I think that might be the problem in our society today, there is little thought of God’s Holiness and what He requires of His saints.  Again, Holy means: “entirely devoted to a Diety.”  There is a lot of devotion to the things in our world today but to say the devotion is to God is yet another thought. God has declared in His Word [Isa. 45:22]  “Look unto Me, and be ye Saved, all the ends of the earth: for I Am God, and there is none else.”  The question is asked, what takes first place in our life? This is a question to think about, meditate upon and seriously consider!  Holiness is a commitment to a Christ-like life style. To understand Holiness in our life we look to Jesus. We see His actions, His passions, His commitment to His Father. There is a great need to day to get into the Gospels, [Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John] and take a strong at the Life of Christ. Holiness, devotion to God, awareness of our frailties, sensitive to Spiritual matter, and faithfulness in our Christian character is all part of the Born Again saint of God.  Not only is God Holy, Jesus is Holy, and the Spirit of God Holy C and everything that pertains to Him is Holy, which means it is set apart for His use.  Scripture reveals [and I repeat from last week] His House is Holy, His Altar is Holy, The Furniture in His House is Holy. His Testimonies are Holy, His Promises are Holy, The Tithe is Holy, His Habitation is Holy, His Priests shall be Holy, the Garments of the Priests are Holy, … And He desires a Holy people, a Holy nation. A study of Holiness reminds us of a Holy God and His instruction to His people … Lev. 20:7 “Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye Holy: for I Am the LORD your God.” Jesus Prayed:  …”  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I Am not of the world. Sanctify them through Thy Truth: Thy Word is Truth. As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”  ~ Jn. 17:15-18   Loving you as we pursue a Holy God together, Pastor
