God is Holy

Series: God Is

David McQueenJanuary 11, 2026Weekend Services

Passage: 1 Peter 1:14-16

When we think about God, the first word many people choose is "love." And God is love. But the Bible's most repeated description of God is holy; so holy that heaven declares, “Holy, holy, holy” (Revelation 4:8). Holy means set apart, totally different, like no one else. God is not just a better version of us, He is in a category all His own. That changes how we worship, how we live, and how we see ourselves. If God is holy, then following Him will sometimes make us feel “different” in this world (1 Peter 2:11). But that “set apart” life isn’t meant to be strange for the sake of strange. It’s meant to be free, good, and full of Jesus.

God is...

Holy

 

Text: 1 Peter 1:14-16, 2:11

 

God is holy. If we don't grasp holy, we have utterly no chance of really . (Revelation 4:8) 

 

Holy means set apart of utterly . It means like no other. 

 

God is out of this .

 

...in

...in . (Exodus 33:19-20) 

...in . (Matthew 10:28; Hebrew 9:27)

...in . (1 John 1:5) 

...in . (Psalm 103:11-12) 

 

The only response to a God who is out of this  is . (Revelation 4:9-11) 

 

Our God is not of the  - and neither

 

As we become increasingly holy in the way we think and act, as we have lives that reflect who He is, then we are

 

As we follow Jesus, we will feel less and less  in this world in many ways. 

 

If we want what  people have, then let's do what  people do. 

 

But, if we want what few people have, then let's do what few people do (by  what few people are). 

 

Dear friends, I urge you, as  and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. 1 Peter 2:11

 

Just as he who called you is , so be  in all you do. 1 Peter 1:15
