God’s holiness is not God pushing us away. It is God inviting us to holy embrace. It is an invitation to restoration and wholeness. It is God calling us to a new natural. It is purity inviting us to be made pure. Christ is God’s perfect expression of holiness. Looking at Him is an invitation to be like Him who is the very “image of the invisible God.” Father, I have seen your holiness in your Son. I long to be like the One who has shown You to me!
“For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 4:7-8 (NKJV)
