Holiness is a very big deal to God. The essence of his being is holiness. Unfortunately, we don’t come close to comprehending what it means about a God who says, “Among those who approach me, I will show myself holy.” May he teach us to be holy; to destroy any unholy thing in us that could destroy us. And even though through Christ’s substitutionary death we are invited to come boldly into God’s holy presence, let us temper our confidence before God’s throne with humble gratitude that we are standing in a place where we receive grace where instead we should have received fire. We don’t deserve to be there, yet through Jesus, thankfully, we are declared holy and thereby can approach the throne of a holy God as his holy people.
