Psalm
29:2, “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the
beauty of holiness.”
God
requires that we come before Him in holiness. If we are to enter into His
presence, we will do so under the covering of Holiness. The Psalmist said it
best: if we are to give God the glory that is due Him, if we are to truly
worship Him, we will do so in His holiness. Holiness is an indispensable element
of our relationship with God. Hebrews 12:14, “Follow peace with all men, and
holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.”
God
Is Holy! Man was created in the image of God, and until he sinned, he was the
reflection of God. After the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the Garden of
Eden, God pronounced the curse of sin upon all creation. All that God had
created would carry the scar of man’s failure.
The sin in mortal man cannot be representative of God. Therefore, the sin must be cast aside and abandoned. That is done in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus provided everything we need to be a true disciple through His cleansing blood. Look to the cross, believe in the cleansing of Christ, be washed in His blood, and He will make you clean and holy. The believer is wholly washed, becoming a child of God and prepared to be the reflection of his Father. Amen!
