What Does It Really Mean to be Holy?

Isaiah beheld a divine vision of God’s holiness, an experience that revealed the Almighty’s purity and perfection.

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 the book of Revelations, it is described in this manner.

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.

They proclaimed, “Holy, holy, holy,” ceaselessly, day and night. It wasn’t just a single declaration of “Holy,” but a fervent repetition of “Holy, holy, holy,” capturing the immense breadth and depth of God’s holiness.

Experiencing the presence of the Almighty God can only be summed up in one profound phrase: holy, holy, holy. Holiness defines the very essence of who God is.

The word Holy means to set apart.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

2 Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

2 Corinthians 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The very essence of holiness is love and truth.

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love suffereth long, love is kind; love is not jealous; love does no brag, love is not pride,

1 Corinthians 13:5 Love doth not behave itself unseemly, love seeketh not her own, love is not easily provoked, love thinketh no evil;

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 comprehend the holiness of God through 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.

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which is God’s.

Holiness is a fundamental requirement for anyone who desires to see the Lord.

Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Our God is Holy, teaching us to be holy in every aspect of our lives. Embracing holiness transforms us and those around us.

We must engage with His divine nature, allowing it to transform our thoughts, actions, and person.
