What does holiness look like? Do images of bunned hair, long skirts and black stockings pop into your mind? Is it a list of do’s and don’ts such as no smoking, drinking and dancing? To some people, it means an unattainable perfection – one will never measure up to the standard. Others identify with the thoughts of A. W. Tozer: “We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as a natural and expected thing. We are not disappointed that we do not find all truth in our teachers or complete honesty in our merchants or full trustworthiness in our friends.”
The holiness of God is closely related with the other attributes of God. His love is a holy love. His anger is holy anger. These concepts are beyond the human mind to fully understand. How are we to respond to a holy God? How can we become holy? This last lesson will challenge your mind and will as we study.
