God Attribute, 117

~ God Is Holy ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  A careful study of the word holy in the Old Testament will show that the word holy has a root in the uniqueness of God.

 

Scripture  ~  “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11).

 

“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory’!” (Isaiah 6:1-3).

 

Comment  ~  A number of Biblical scholars believe that the “Holy, holy, holy” phrase is a reference to the three members of the Trinity.
