The word holy means dedicated, consecrated, or sacred. While it is a word we use in everyday life, I don't think we really think about it's meaning. Especially in relation to our God, the God of the Holy Bible. Sometimes people in the Bible are referred to as set apart, or holy. However the "holy" referred to in those cases is a tiny fraction of the holy that is our awesome God. Our triune God is infinitely more holy, powerful, and amazing than any human could ever be. The song I am linking to below is a song about this concept. David Crowder says in the song, "I can't comprehend your infinitely beautiful and perfect love." When you think about it, Mr. Crowder is speaking for all of us. No one can comprehend God or His love for us. The chorus simply says, "You are holy." This simple idea is significant. Think of it this way. While we can't understand God, the phrase, "You are holy," encapsulates so much. Because God is holy, we can know a few things about Him. For one, He is all knowing. He is all powerful. He is just and perfect. He is patient and forgiving. So when God says in His word, that he loves us and that he will save us, we can feel peace and certainty. In summary, God is holy, He loves you, and through faith He will save you. So amen to you God. After all you are holy!
Verses for consideration:
1 Samuel 2:2 ESV
“There is none holy like the Lord; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.
Isaiah 6:3 ESV
And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
Lyrics:
I can't comprehend your infinitely beautiful and perfect love
Oh I've dreamed dreams of majesty as brilliant as a billion stars
But they're never bright enough after all
You are Holy
Oh Holy
Holy, Holy, Holy
I will sing a song for you my God with everything I have in me
But it's never loud enough after all
You are Holy
Oh Holy
Holy, Holy, Holy
Heaven and earth are full, full of your glory, glory
My soul it overflows full of your glory, your glory
Oh blessed is he who reigns, full of your glory, your glory
My cup, it can't contain all of your glory, your glory
Hosanna we are found after all you are
Holy
Oh Holy
Holy, Holy, Holy
I can't comprehend
You're infinitely beautiful
