“Our God is a consuming fire.” - Hebrews 12:29

What is Holiness? See Exodus 3

SEPARATE

Exodus 3:5, “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.”

BEYOND

Isaiah 55:8-9, “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “… my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”

Exodus 3:12a, “God answered, “I will be with you.”

GODESSENCE –

Exodus 3:14, “God replied to Moses, “I am who i am. Say this to the people of Israel: I am has sent me to you.”

Key Thought: GOD IS HOLY

What is Holiness to me? Exodus 19

I am NOT

v12, “Mark off a boundary all around the mountain. Warn the people, ‘Be careful! Do not go up on the mountain or even touch its boundaries. Anyone who touches the mountain will certainly be put to death.”

I am TO BE

v14, “So Moses went down to the people. He consecrated them…”“

Key Thought: I AM TO BE HOLY

I am IN THE TENSION

17b, “…they stood at the foot of the mountain.”

How is Holiness EVEN POSSIBLE?

I need a MEDIATOR

I need A THIRD DAY

Hebrews 10:10, “For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.”

Key Thought: I can only be HOLY THROUGH JESUS.
