2. Heaven is holy. “Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will
hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.”
Psa. 20:6.
3. Christ is holy. “For such an high priest became us, who is holy,
harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners.” Heb. 7:26.
4. The angels are holy. “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and
all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory.” Mat. 25:31.
5. God’s commandments are holy. “Wherefore the law is holy, and the
commandment holy, and just, and good.” Rom. 7:12.
6. God’s arm is holy. “The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of
all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of
our God.” Isa. 52:10.
7. God’s mountains are holy. “And it shall come to pass in that day, that
the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to
perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and
shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.” Isa. 27:13.
8. God’s hill is holy. “Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall
dwell in thy holy hill?” Psa. 15:1.
9. God’s name is holy. “My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord; and
let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.” Psa. 145:21.
10. God’s works are holy. “The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy
in all his works.” Psa. 145:17.
11. God’s people are holy. “For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy
God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto
himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” Deut. 7:6.
Read Eph. 1:4; Col. 1:22; 1 Pet. 1:15; 2 Pet. 3:11.
12. God’s people are his holy temple. “If any man defile the temple of
God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye
are.” 1 Cor. 3:17.
13. God’s church is a holy church. “Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word; that he
might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or
wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish.” Eph. 5:25-27.
14. The way to heaven is a holy way. “And an highway shall be there, and a
way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; ... the redeemed shall
walk there.” Isa. 35:8, 9.
Let us repeat: God is holy; heaven is holy; the angels are holy; Christ is
holy; the Spirit is holy; God’s Word is holy; the way to heaven is holy.
Reader, we want you to picture before you a holy heaven and the holy way
that leads to heaven. Read this text: “Follow peace with all men, and
holiness without which no man shall see the Lord.” Heb. 12:14.
