How do we know God is holy and does not take pleasure in evil?

Answered in 1 source

Psalm 5 declares that God does not dwell with the wicked and hates all who do wrong, affirming His holiness.

In Psalm 5, David asserts that God is not a God who takes pleasure in evil, stating clearly that the wicked cannot dwell in His presence. This declaration emphasizes God's absolute holiness and righteousness. The psalm reinforces the belief that God abhors deceitful behavior and bloodthirsty individuals, showcasing His justice. It's crucial to recognize God's holiness, as it establishes the foundation for understanding redemption—our need for grace arises from recognizing our sinful nature in contrast to God's purity. David's words resonate with the Reformed understanding that God is sovereign over all, and He cannot tolerate sin while still being just and merciful.
