On Holyiness
Where did we go wrong?
One of the more serious sins of true Christians today may well be the flippant familiarity with which we address God in prayer.
Looking back in the Old Testament none of the godly people in the Bible ever adopted the casual attitude and manner we so often use now. In our day we must begin to recover a sense of Awe and profound reverence for Almighty God!
We need to view Him as the Great Creator of the Universe and all that we know!
View Him once more in infinite Majesty to which He alone belongs. He who is both the Creator and Supreme Ruler of all that exist. There is an infinite gap in dignity and worth between God the Creator and humans the creatures, even though we were created in the image of God. Because the fear of God is a heartfelt recognition of this gap - not just a put down of mankind, rather the exaction of God.
We seem to have magnified the love of God almost to the point and exclusion of the fear of God. Because of this preoccupation we are not honoring God and reverencing Him as we should!
We should magnify the love of God; but although we revel in His love and mercy, we must never lose sight of His Majesty and His Holiness!
