Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Weekend Podcast

The Real God - The Holiness of God, Part 1


Listen Later

God is holy, and He wants us to be holy, but how do we do that? What’s it really look like to be holy? Do we have to give up everything fun? Do we have to be serious 24/7 and keep a perfect, holy checklist? Join Chip for the surprising answer.

Defining the Holiness of God:

  • “We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God’s power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness he cannot even imagine.” -A. W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy

How does God reveal His holiness to us?

  • Through SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS
  • Through PLACES
  • Through the LAW
  • Through the PROPHETS
  • Through His WRATH and JUDGMENT
  • Through His SON
  • Through His PEOPLE

God’s holiness raises two important questions:

  1. If God is so holy that He cannot even gaze at sin, how can sinful people like us have a relationship with Him? -Romans 5:6-10
  2. If trusting in Christ’s work on the cross blots out our sin before God and we are holy in His sight, why do we keep on sinning?
  • Justification: Positional holiness - Point-in-time status with God
  • Sanctification: Progressive holiness - Ongoing improvement
  • Glorification: Permanent holiness - We are finally like Him

How must we respond to the holiness of God?

  • It’s a COMMITMENT we make. -Hebrews 12:14
  • It’s a COMMAND we obey. -1 Peter 1:13-16, Hebrew 13:4
