God's Holiness (4)

The holiness of God and the honor of God call aloud upon all Christians to avoid the suspicion of sin. God is so essentially holy; so universally holy; so transcendently holy; so superlatively holy; so originally, radically, and fundamentally holy; He is so independently holy; so unchangeably, constantly, and exemplarily holy that He cannot but hate and abhor the very appearance of evil. Look, as apparent sin stirs up the judicial anger of God against sinners, so the appearance of sin stirs up the fatherly anger of God against saints. A gracious heart knows that God is "of purer eyes than to behold evil" (Hab. 1:13), and therefore He keeps at a distance from the appearance of iniquity. Of all men in the world none honors God at so high a rate as those that keep most aloof from the appearance of evil. Thomas Brooks

Thomas Brooks God's Holiness

Death reminds us that we are creatures. Yet as fearsome as death is, it is nothing compared with meeting a holy God. When we encounter him, the totality of our creatureliness breaks upon us and shatters the myth that we have believed about ourselves, the myth that we are demigods, junior-grade deities who will try to live forever.
