What does it mean that God is Holy? And why does He call you to be holy as He is holy? In this episode, we step into the awe-inspiring reality of God’s holiness—His nature that is utterly set apart, pure, radiant, and unlike anything else.
In Hebrew, the word is קָדוֹשׁ – qadosh (kah-DOHSH), set apart, sacred, completely other, incomparable in purity and glory.
In Greek, it’s ἅγιος – hagios (HAH-gee-oss), sacred, consecrated, transformed for God’s purpose.
Through Isaiah’s vision in Isaiah 6, we see the angels cry “Holy, holy, holy” as the prophet is undone in the presence of God. Holiness exposes our sin but also provides the cleansing we need. It’s not dull or restrictive—it’s the most beautiful invitation into life as it was meant to be: free, whole, and set apart for Him.
Discover the beauty of holiness, why it humbles and transforms you, and how to walk in it daily—not by fear or striving, but through intimacy with the Holy One.
