What is the relationship between God's holiness and His power?

Answered in 1 source

God's holiness ensures that His power is exercised justly and rightly, preventing misuse of His omnipotence.

The relationship between God's holiness and His power is foundational; holiness governs how His power is expressed. Without holiness, God's vast power could lead to tyranny or arbitrary governance. Psalm 30:4 emphasizes giving thanks at the remembrance of His holiness, ensuring that His power operates within the realm of justice and righteousness. As Stephen Charnock noted, without holiness, the attributes of power and wisdom would be meaningless. Thus, God's holiness guarantees that His power is always used to fulfill His just and perfect will.
