This whole "holiness" thing the way we talk about it most of the time is somewhat of a joke .... well let's change that to a huge joke ...... viewed in light of God's holiness. Nothing we can do can even being to measure up to God's standard of holiness. It's untenable and unattainable. The only true holiness we have is a result of His grace and mercy. We don't merit it that's for sure.
When Isaiah saw the Lord what did he say? He cried out.......... "
Woe is me!!!! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
Can one single one of us say anything different? If you think you can
then you haven't seen the Lord! Simple as that!
