Ariel writes – a weekly Scriptural devotion:
“And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” (Isaiah 6:3 NIV)
The angels surrounding God are not content with; “Holy!”, not even with; “Holy! Holy!” They must say it three times; “Holy! Holy! Holy!” No other attribute of God is spoken of like this. Not love or justice or sovereignty. Just Holy. Thus, it is God’s holiness that sums up his total perfection and greatness in one. As Thomas Watson said; “It is the most sparkling jewel of God’s crown, it is the name by which he is known.” So what does God’s holiness mean? Well, the word “holy” means to be separate or distinct, so maybe Isaiah 40:25 best sums it up; ““To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.” But we must be careful when we speak of God’s holiness to not just leave it hanging in heaven; it must come down and permeate our lives with fear and wonder. With fear because it is like a consuming fire but with wonder because it also sent a sinless Saviour to take our sinful place. Therefore, never forget the seraphim around God’s throne still cry holy, and so must we.
