What does the Bible teach about God's exclusive holiness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God is the only one who is holy, and any holiness in us is derived from Him.

Scripture asserts that God is the only one who is truly holy, as highlighted in passages like Isaiah 6:3 where the seraphim cry out, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.' This foundational truth emphasizes that our holiness is not inherent but granted through our union with Christ. In Psalm 30:4, we see a call to praise God for His holiness, which showcases the distinctiveness of the divine nature. Therefore, when believers are called 'holy', it is only because we partake of God's holiness through faith in Jesus, who is our righteousness and sanctification, reinforcing that all glory belongs to Him alone.
