Last time we looked at standing firm as regards truth, not let us consider ,standing firm as regards holiness. Now it is not a word you hear on the media, or even with your everyday person, or even in the church. But it is mentioned in the word of God ,in relation to God , as to His being. Tozer writes of the holy Trinity, let me also stress, because it is important God is a triune being, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This a great mystery, Tozer writes 'Our sincerest effort to grasp the incomprehensible mystery of the Trinity must remain forever futile'. We must humbly accept by faith this mystery, and in worship and adore ,One God in Persons Three'. As to his being He is holy, Isaiah 6 v 3,we read ,'Holy , holy, holy is the Lord Almighty, likewise in Revelation 4 v 8. That holiness shuts out humanity from having a relationship with Him. Again in turning to Tozer, who writes,' There is a relative and contingent holiness which He shares . with angels and with redeemed men on earth as their preparation for heaven'. The unsaved have no part in this, it is foreign to them, because of their sinful nature, and their natural animosity towards a holy God and His ways and His will. We will continue this next time.
