God is worthy to be worshipped because all that God does is righteous and good. His goodness toward his creation flows out of his holiness. Because of sin, his holiness is also understood in his being set apart from moral stain or evil. he is without blemish or flaw.
Message Notes
Jeremiah 2:19
1.
Isaiah 57:15
God’s holiness is his righteousness, goodness and separateness from all evil
Isaiah 6:1-4
We cannot grasp the true meaning of the divine holiness by thinking of someone or something very pure and then raising the concept to the highest degree we are capable of. God’s holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God’s power and admire his wisdom, but his holiness he cannot even imagine. Only the Spirit of the Holy One can impart to the human spirit the knowledge of the holy. (A. W.Tozer)
2.
Isaiah 6:5
God’s holiness exposes our impurity, selfishness, sin and produces dread and honest confession.
(Isaiah)…expresses the feeling of every man who has discovered himself under his disguises and has been confronted with an inward sight of the holy whiteness that is God. Such an experience cannot but be emotionally violent. (A.W.Tozer)
Job 42:2-6
Luke 5:8
Luke 23:40-41
Psalm 130:3-4
3.
