How do we know that God is holy?

Answered in 13 sources

We know God is holy through His self-revelation in Scripture, where His nature is declared and demonstrated throughout biblical history.

The holiness of God is fully revealed through Scripture, particularly in passages like Isaiah 6, where divine beings worship God for His holiness. Additionally, God's actions throughout biblical history exhibit His holiness, such as in His judgments on sin and His compassion towards the repentant. The consistency of God’s holy nature is evident as He interacted with His people, both in calling them to holiness (Leviticus 19:2) and in demonstrating love that does not compromise His truth (Romans 5:8-9). God's holiness requires a response from us, as we are called to be ‘holy as He is holy,’ which affirms our need for continual growth in faith and obedience amidst our struggles.
