The Holiness of God – Paul M. Williams

Exodus 15:11 If ever there was an aspect of God's character that desperately needs to be rediscovered among the ranks of Evangelicalism in our day, it is the holiness of God!! We've lost the fear of God in the house of God because we've no comprehension of the holiness of God!  We've grown accustomed to the familiar because we've lost the sense of reverence and awe in the handling of the things of God.   Can I remind you that the God with whom we have to do is HOLY?  He does not fall into the category of the common — He CAN'T!  He's totally and utterly removed from every created thing in the universe, including the universe itself, because He's altogether of a different KIND!!  Humans belong to the humans kind and animals, the animal kind; there is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars — there is the glory of the angelic host, and then there is the glory of God!!!  Tell me, what other "kind" can we place in the category of God?  HE EXISTS IN A CATEGORY ALL OF HIS OWN!!!  "Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" (Ex. 15:11).
