Why holy?
…Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come." Revelation 4:8
Celebration of holiness
Holiness means…
• God is King…holy
The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne…Let the whole earth quake! The Lord sits in majesty…exalted above all the nations. Let them praise your great and awesome name. Your name is holy! Psalm 99:1-3
• God is just…holy
Mighty King, lover of justice, you have established fairness. You have acted with justice and righteousness throughout Israel. Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy! Psalm 99:4-5
• God is faithful…holy
Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also…They cried to the Lord for help, and he answered them. He spoke to Israel from the pillar of cloud, and they followed the laws and decrees he gave them. O Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them…Exalt the Lord our God,
and worship at his holy mountain in Jerusalem, for the Lord our God is holy!
Psalm 99:6-9
Mediators, His presence, His Word
Forgiveness
The Passover Exodus 12

What holiness means to us
We have been made holy
…He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours…
God has united you with Christ Jesus….Christ made us right with God; who he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. 1 Corinthians 1:2,30
To live holy
Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14
Worship a holy God
And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it...Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come."…they lay their crowns before the throne and say, "You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased."…Then I saw a scroll…Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and open it?" But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it…“…Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah…has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals." Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered…And when he took the scroll…they sang a new song with these words: "You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth." Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. And they sang in a mighty chorus: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered—to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”
Revelation 4:2,8,10,11; 5:1-3,5,6,8-12
