“Your God is altogether too human.”
Luther to Erasmus
Luther to Erasmus
“The unregenerate do not really believe in the holiness of God. Their conception of his character is altogether one-sided. They fondly hope that his mercy will override everything else. “You thought that I was altogether like you.” is God’s charge against them. They think only of a “god” patterned after their own evil hearts.”
A.W. Pink (1886-1952)
A.W. Pink (1886-1952)
“The ‘god” which the vast majority of professing Christians “love” is looked upon very much like an indulgent old man, who himself has no relish for folly, but leniently winks at the “indiscretions” of youth.

Never altogether Merciful but not completely Just.
Never all Love but not expressing Wrath upon sin.

Key Theme:
God is Both Holy AND Approachable.
Key Application:
God intends you to live a holy, set apart life for Him in every way, because He is Holy in every way. He rescued you to be Holy and to represent Him and His Kingdom ways.
Key Verses:
Leviticus 19:2, “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.”
1Peter 2:9, “But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;.”
Key Questions:
1. How would you say the fear of the LORD and His Holiness has shaped your life? Has it shaped your life?
2. How do people try to approach God not by coming through the Mercy Seat? How does this happen in your own life?
3. What are three ways you have set yourself or your family apart to live a holy life to represent Him well?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
