Isaiah 6: 1, 5: "In the year king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train (robe) filled the temple. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts." Isaiah was God's prophet. He was an international messenger that spoke God's judgment among a vast nation. His name means, "Yahweh is Salvation." Yet, when he saw the Lord, he immediately saw how unholy he was in comparison to God. This will be the message for the next few days. Too many people treat God too casual, like He was a Divine grandfather intent on serving a person's every need. No true believer will deny the holiness of our God. Holiness is a very important topic. Holiness is a quality uniquely attributable to God. However, when it comes to the Christians attempt to live holy lives, there are some extremes that should be observed. First, there is the camp that thinks they are holy because of their external dress, hair, and standards. I want to be clear that there is nothing wrong with following your personal convictions about how you should live for the Lord. At the same time, we should never confuse our human efforts to be holy with God’s holiness. Our holiness is through the application of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that He shed for us applied to our hearts.. We have His imputed righteousness covering our lives. Whatever holiness we think we have in our lives is really filthy rags. Today, praise Him because of His Holiness.
