God is Holy

In the past few weeks I have been studying about God’s holiness. I used to think that I know what holy means, but as I keep digging deeper, I realize that I don’t know much about what holy really means and furthermore, how holy God is.

One of the meanings of holy is “to be separated from evil”. We know there is no evil in God, but God also calls us to be holy just like him.

You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.. “Leviticus 20:26”

I find it hard to be holy because I know there is evil in me, but at the same time I know that God’s sacrifice on the cross has freed me and has given me an opportunity to walk towards the path of holiness. I know I can be with Him for eternity and enjoy His holy presence. I love the fact that I worship a God who is against everything evil or in a other words against everything that can hurt me.
