Holiness of God

 

Hebrew word for, ‘to be holy’ is quadash comes from the root word, qad, which means to cut or to separate. This applies primarily to God. Same idea is found in N.T words hagiazo and hagios.

 

Holiness of God can be divided into three.

 

  1. Its Nature.  2. Ethical Aspect. 3. Manifestation

 

God’s nature in holiness

 

God in his nature is holy. He is absolutely distinct from all his creatures. Angels are holy but God’s holiness in his nature is above the angels. This is one of his transcendental attributes. (Beyond the reach of ordinary, we cannot even comprehend as it’s beyond our reach of understanding) Holiness is his supreme perfection. He is holy in everything that reveals in him. In the O.T a persons name signifies something to his nature. In the same way God’s name is holy.
