THE HOLINESS OF GOD
Isaiah 6:1-6
- GOD’S HOLINESS FULFILLS ALL HUMAN DISAPPOINTMENTS
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.” Isaiah 6:1
- GOD’S HOLINESS OVERWHELMS EVEN THE ANGELS
Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory. At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.” Isaiah 6:2-4
“The picture Isaiah paints strikes awe and terror into one’s heart; a person gets the idea that the observer has come a little too close to the majesty of the glory and has seen something that is beyond the human sphere of experience and understanding.” – GV Smith
- GOD’S HOLINESS CAUSES ME TO BE UNDONE
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” Isaiah 6:5
- GOD’S HOLINESS UNDERPINS HIS JUSTICE AND MERCY
“Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” Isaiah 6:6
