Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.
Isaiah 6:3 NIV
God is Holy to the third power and beyond!
The word holy essentially means being absent of any wrong doings (sin) to such a degree as to deserve special recognition, worship or praise. Sounds like God to me!
To be holy is to have no sin! To say someone is holy means they have NO SIN! When you say God is holy, you are saying God has never, will never, and in fact could never sin! Are you starting to have an understanding of the word now? God is holy!
One word holy would be enough to describe that sinless state, but our God is so perfectly holy that it requires three or more holies to get the point across! God is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!
And, that is where we come in. You see, you and I can't even garner one holy! There is nothing in us, not one ten second span of our lives that could ever be considered holy, not using the definition we have already established for the word.
In fact, when we are compared to God's HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, holiness, we become aware of just how unholy we really are! God is so completely holy, and we, in comparison, are so completely unholy, that the gap between us is greater than you or I could ever fathom.
Don't you see now why we can never get to God apart from His divine intervention? Can't you see how He, the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY God must reach way down into our sin drenched world to reach the lost and bring us by His grace into His Holy presence? Isn't it clear we need Jesus?
We couldn't get to God, so He came to us! HOLY, HOLY, HOLY came down and lifted us up by the precious blood of Jesus!
Aren't we glad today?
