How can we understand God's holiness?

Answered in 1 source

God's holiness is the essence of His moral perfection, setting Him apart from sin and defining His righteousness.

God's holiness is a foundational attribute that reflects His moral perfection and purity, distinguishing Him from His creation. In Isaiah 6:3, the seraphim proclaim, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts,' encapsulating the infinite nature of God's holiness. This attribute means that God cannot overlook sin; rather, He must judge it according to His justice. Furthermore, God's holiness is intimately connected to His laws and commandments, which reflect His character. For believers, understanding God's holiness serves as a call to pursue personal holiness as well (1 Peter 1:16), recognizing that we are to be set apart, not conforming to the world, but instead reflecting God’s nature in our lives.
