Holiness Begins with God

God is Holy, Transcendent, and Immutable

I. God is Holy (Holy- without sin, morally and spiritually excellent, exalted and worthy of
complete devotion, as one who is perfect, i.e., God)
a. Leviticus 11:44b For I am holy
b. Leviticus 19:2b You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.
c. Isaiah 6:3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; The
whole earth is full of your glory!”

II. God is Transcendent (Transcendent- above and beyond any and all comprehension, i.e.,
God)
a. Isaiah 55:8,9 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways”, says
the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are MY ways higher than
your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
b. Isaiah 40:12 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or as His counselor has taught
Him?
c. Romans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
III. God is Immutable (Immutable- unchanging over time or unable to be changed;
Immutability of God- God does not change in His character/ will/ promises.
a. Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should
repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it
good?
b. Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O
sons of Jacob.
c. Hebrews 6:17,18 Thus God, determining to show mor abundantly to the heirs of
promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable
things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who
have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
