God's holiness necessitates that all sin is judged, as He cannot overlook unrighteousness.
God's holiness is intrinsically linked to His justice. Because God is holy, He cannot tolerate sin, and all unrighteousness must receive due punishment. As stated in Isaiah 5:16, 'The Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment,' indicating that God's holiness governs His judgment and justice. His perfect holiness means He must respond to sin with wrath, yet those who take refuge in Christ escape this judgment because He bore the penalty for our sin on the cross. Thus, God’s holiness is not just about separation from sin; it also ensures that every sin is either judged in Christ or meted out in hell, demonstrating His unwavering moral standards.
