Isaiah had a vision of God’s Holiness.
Isaiah 6:1 I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Isaiah 6:2 Above it stood the seraphims:: each one had six wings; with twain, he covered his face, and with twain, he covered his feet, and with twain, he did fly.
Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
In Revelations, its described this way.
Revelations 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
They cried out Holy, holy, holy, day and night. Not just one time Holy, but Holy holy, holy describing the breadth and depth of the Holiness of God.
When you are in the presence of the almighty God, you can only describe it one way, Holy, holy, holy.
Holiness is God’s nature. The word Holy means to set apart.
The essence of Holy is love and truth.

1 Corinthians 13:6 Love rejoiceth not in iniquity, but love rejoiceth in the truth;
1 Corinthians 13:7 Love beareth all things, love believeth all things, love hopeth all things, love endureth all things.
1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never faileth:
We can only understand the Holiness of God thru the Holy Spirit which he gives to his children.
1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
