Subject: The Holiness of God |
Bible Note: I have to admit, I'm a little confused by all this posting of 5 statements, 4 of which are identical, posted within a few minutes and then this, the grand summary, all on the Holiness of God. Why all the dramatics? Anyway, in answer to your question. After reading and re-reading God's Word over and over again, we can but say we are the creation, God's vessels of clay and He is the Creator. A person could also ask why did God strike down dead His servant Uzzah for touching the ark to steady it. We could ask why did He let His beloved King David kill such an innocent and noble soldier as Uzziah and let David live after committing adultery with Uzziah's wife. And naturally, the questions Job posed in his book never get answers in spite of Job's living a good life and not ever giving up his faith in God; why was Job abused so badly by Satan and allowed by God? The answer although not pleasant is rather simple. God is the Supreme Being and He does as He likes or dislikes and He really doesn't have to explain Himself or answer any of our silly questions. But we should consider Him completely Holy, worthy of all Praise and Honor. The slightest sin in our lives are like filthy rags to Him and thus we truly are less than worthy to receive the wonderful gift of salvation or Heaven when we die but nevertheless we can all look forward to that goal when we become one of His.
