Page 13 - The Holiness of God

the Sabbath, the seventh day, was holy. It was

set apart. Why was it holy? Well, it was holy

because God said it was holy. And these are the

things that we see throughout the Scripture.

The Scriptures are holy, by the way. They're

called “the holy scriptures” in 2 Timothy. We

find in Exodus 37, verse 28, that the people

were holy. They were holy because God was in

the midst of them. When God is involved in

something, then that something can become

holy or be counted as holy. We find in Leviticus

21, verses 7 and 8, that the priests were

considered as holy because God had set them

apart for His service.

In Exodus, chapter 30, verse 39, the

Tabernacle and later the Temple was holy.

Why? Because God's presence was there. God

had set them apart. We find in 1 Corinthians 7
