It appears nigh impossible for us to fully grasp the holiness of God,because we also can't grasp the seriousness of our sin .In God's eyes all sin is repulsive, He abhors it,He hates it,He detests it.Often we just think of sin on its own,but sin and the sinner go together,you cannot have one without the other. It is not possible for any one to have a relationship with God if their sin has not been forgiven,that means heaven is shut to you,whoever you are,it makes no difference. In Romans 1 v 18,we read ,'The wrath of God is revealed against all the godlessness and wickedness of people'.This means that the wrath of God rests on everyone whose sins have not being forgiven.(John 3 v36 )Sin and holiness can never go together,they are at odds with one another. Our attitude to God's holiness should be one of fear,as Bruce Milne points out as regards the terror of the holiness of God,even as a Christian,we should always walk in the fear of a holy God,because you are saved don't think God will overlook your sin. CP John 13 v10.God will chastise His erring Jesus.(Hebrews 12 v 7ff, and yet one will still be saved,because of the cross of Christ, If you are not saved then as I pointed out hell awaits, there is hope,for God in His mercy has provided a way for you to have a relationship with Him by having your sins forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ.
