The Bible emphasizes that holiness is God's chief attribute, as highlighted in Scripture passages like Isaiah 6:3, where the angels proclaim, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.'
The Bible clearly defines holiness as the chief attribute of God. In Isaiah 6:3, the seraphim cry out, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts,' indicating that holiness surpasses all other attributes. This means there is no sin, fault, or defect in God; He is absolute perfection. Consequently, everything God does must be holy. This essential characteristic shapes His interactions with humanity, meaning His mercy, judgment, and love are all executed in a manner that is entirely holy and just.
