GOD is HOLY

 

Psalm 103:1

King James Version

103 Bless the Lord, 

O my soul: 

and all that is within me, 

bless his holy name.

What makes GOD holy?

What does Scripture say?

Plenty -- through these verses:

Leviticus 11:44

King James Version

ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, 

and ye shall be holy; 

for I am holy: 

neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner 

of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Leviticus 11:45

that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, 

to be your God: 

ye shall therefore be holy, 

for I am holy.

of the children of Israel,

Isaiah 6:1-3

King James Version

6 In the year that king Uzziah died 

I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, 

high and lifted up, 

and his train filled the temple.

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.

3 And one cried unto another, 

and said, 

Holy, holy, holy, 

is the Lord of hosts: 

the whole earth is full of his glory.

Isaiah 57:15

King James Version

15 For thus saith the high and lofty One 

that inhabiteth eternity, 

whose name is Holy; 

I dwell in the high and holy place, 

with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, 

to revive the spirit of the humble, 

and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

1 Peter 1:15-16

King James Version

15 But as he which hath called you is holy, 

so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16 Because it is written, 

Be ye holy; 

for I am holy.

Revelation 4:8

King James Version

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.

This article sprung from a previous article SPIRIT and I wrote moments ago, "SPIRIT-filled ministers".

Wherein all our efforts as ministers, teachers, and servants, must be towards GOD's GLORY alone.

Something man so often forgets.

No thanks to the enemy.

But a born again knows.

And remembers.
