Lesson 5: The Holy God — Set Apart in Glory, Calling Us to Reflect His Nature

Jul 2, 2025    Pastor Robert Barrett

In Lesson 5, we encounter the core of God’s nature: His Holiness. This isn’t just another divine trait—it’s the blazing center of who God is. Holiness means God is utterly set apart, morally pure, gloriously distinct, and unlike anything or anyone we’ve ever known.


🔥 Whether it’s Isaiah trembling in awe, angels crying out “Holy, Holy, Holy,” or Jesus—the Holy One—reaching out to cleanse the unclean, holiness is the atmosphere of heaven and the invitation of earth.


📖 What You’ll Learn in This Lesson:

- What the Bible really means when it calls God “holy”

- Why God's holiness is the foundation of all His other attributes

- How the vision in Isaiah 6 reveals our need for cleansing and commission

- The difference between human religion and holy relationship

- What it means to be holy in Christ—not by striving, but by transformation


🕊 Holiness isn't just about being separate from sin—it's about being near to God.


🙌 You’ll also explore:

The meaning of qadosh (קָדוֹשׁ) and why the Hebrew mindset treated holiness with reverent awe

The powerful link between Jesus and the holiness of God

How believers are called to reflect God's holiness in our thoughts, speech, worship, and daily life


⚡️ Featuring insights from R.C. Sproul, A.W. Tozer, Augustus Strong, and Jewish rabbinical thought.


🎙 Confession of the Day:
