The Attributes of God
Week 7: "God Is Holy”

Preliminary observations:
• God is separate from all moral evil & sin
• God is perfect and without any flaws/weaknesses
• God is the standard for what is holy, good, and right
• God acts justly in every way and regarding all people
"Since God's first concern for His universe is its moral health, that is, its holiness, whatever is contrary to this is necessarily under His eternal displeasure. The holiness of God, the wrath of God, and the health of the creation are inseparably united.”
–A.W. Tozer
