Church Characterized as Holy & Full of Truth?

A Church Characterized as Holy & Loving

Would God characterize your church as holy and full of truth or morally compromising and wavering? As mentioned in the previous post, we need to measure ourselves against Him, not what we or the world defines as truth and holiness.

God’s character provides the standard for what is holy and true.

How interesting that Revelation 6:10 combines holiness and truth with sovereignty. — “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge …” The Sovereign One, the One who has the right to bring judgment on people, is characterized as holy and true. And so, “just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do” (1 Pet. 1:15). Let’s remember that it’s not up to us to define holiness … what is right and pure. God has already done that based on His own holy character.

Implication: We need to get to know this God in the fullness of who He is. — “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Prov. 9:10)
