[00:00:02] I was glad when they said, let us go into the house of the Lord.
[00:00:06] Even on a cold and snowy day, O Lord, I call upon your name.
[00:00:17] And although you are majestic in holiness, you are awesome in glory.
[00:00:29] You do wonders.
[00:00:33] In your steadfast love, you have redeemed us.
[00:00:39] I acknowledge that I am in no way worthy of you.
[00:00:44] But I am delighted that you are a God who, out of the riches of your character, chooses to make yourself known to us.
[00:00:54] I pray this morning that the Holy Spirit would teach us what it means that you are a God of holiness.
[00:01:05] And then I pray that we can hear you say, because I am holy, you need to be holy.
[00:01:16] We are dependent on you.
[00:01:19] And so I ask all this in Christ's name, Amen.
[00:01:24] We're studying the moral attributes of God.
[00:01:29] What does that mean?
[00:01:30] We're studying what kind of person God is.
[00:01:36] God has a personhood, a personality, just like you do, except it's divine and we're human.
[00:01:46] You are known by the kind of person you are.
[00:01:51] People know you by your personality.
[00:01:59] We know God by his personality.
[00:02:05] And one of the most distinguishing characteristics of God's personality, one of the things that makes him God, is his holiness.
[00:02:22] Everyone in this room knows that God is holy, but often we're just not sure what we mean when we say God is holy.
[00:02:34] We have a vague idea about what the holiness of God is, but it is important, because if you were to use a lexicon, you'd find that the word holiness and holy is used in the Bible almost 700 times.
[00:02:58] That means it's important, Church.
[00:03:01] If it gets repeated 700 times, God kind of wants us to.
[00:03:07] I get the clue.
[00:03:14] God's holiness is one of the things that makes him different than all false deities.
[00:03:26] After the Red Sea incident, where Moses and the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea on dry land and the Egyptians tried and.
[00:03:40] And they were overthrown in the water.
[00:03:43] Moses sang a song, made it up on the spot. It's called the Song of Moses.
[00:03:53] And his song is broken into stanzas.
[00:03:57] The first stanza of the song is worship and praise. Listen what Moses said.
[00:04:06] I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously.
[00:04:11] The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
[00:04:16] The Lord is my strength and my song.
[00:04:19] He has become my salvation.
[00:04:23] This is my God. I will praise him.
[00:04:26] My, my Father's God. I will exalt him.
[00:04:30] The Lord is a man of war.
[00:04:33] The Lord is his name.
[00:04:39] And then the next stanza of the song is about triumph and victory, Pharaoh's chariots and his Host he cast into the sea.
[00:04:51] His chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
[00:04:56] The floods covered them.
[00:04:59] They went down to the depths like a stone.
[00:05:04] Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power.
[00:05:10] Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy in the greatness of your majesty. You overthrow your adversaries.
[00:05:21] You send out your fury.
[00:05:23] It consumes them like stubble.
[00:05:27] Moses is saying, no one can oppose the Lord. He is mighty indeed.
[00:05:35] And then there is the stanza on the character of the Lord that we're going to study today, where Moses sings, who is like you, O Lord, among the gods, who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders.
[00:05:58] You stretched out your right hand and the earth swallowed them.
[00:06:04] You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed.
[00:06:09] You have guided them by the strength of your holy abode.
[00:06:17] Then he sings a song about the future, and he says, you will bring them in and plant them in your own mountain.
[00:06:27] The place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established. The Lord will reign forever and ever.
[00:06:42] Moses is looking at an event where God did something unique that was never done before and would never be done again.
[00:06:51] And he said, when I look at you, I come to recognize how you are different from all the false gods.
[00:07:02] None of the false gods have your characteristics, and none of the false deities can do what you have done.
[00:07:14] It is the moral attributes of God that distinguish him from all other gods.
[00:07:21] Moses said, who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
[00:07:26] I run into people all the time who have this idea that, ah, we're all worshiping the same God. We're just worshiping him by different names. Ah, church, that is patently not true.
[00:07:45] There is one God and he doesn't go by the names that other religions attach to him. He tells us what his name is.
[00:07:58] He says, my memorial name is Yahweh, the God who is the God of being, the God of existence and to. And to fall for this, this modern stupidity, which is a sin that the Old Testament church committed also when they said, well, BAAL and Yahweh are really the same. So if you worship baal, it's no different than worshiping Yahweh. It brought the wrath of God on them.
[00:08:33] The Bible goes out of its way to say our God is God and all other deities are false deities.
[00:08:44] And the thing that makes him God is his character.
[00:08:50] He has the nature and the character of God.
[00:08:55] He's not just holy, he is majestic in holy, he is majestic in Holiness.
[00:09:04] Here we're finding the word majestic. We've heard it with several other attributes.
[00:09:10] Majestic has with it the idea that majesty, the right to reign.
[00:09:19] God has the right to reign because he is absolute, morally perfect.
[00:09:28] When you read about ancient deities, they were morally corrupt.
[00:09:36] They didn't, they wouldn't even make a decent person, let alone a divine being.
[00:09:43] Zeus was a terrible philanderer and bragged about it.
[00:09:49] He did not have the moral character to lead, but people built huge temples to him, worshiped him, sacrifice to him.
[00:10:00] And the Bible wants to say, the thing that makes God worthy to rule is his holiness.
[00:10:13] He's never going to cheat you. He's never going to. He's never going to sneak around. He's never going to do the despicable things that the we read about in the mythologies.
[00:10:32] When God reigns, He reigns in holiness.
[00:10:41] He reigns over holiness.
[00:10:44] All that is in. All that is holy in the world has its origin in God.
[00:10:51] If you are becoming more holy, it is because God is reigning in your heart.
[00:10:58] If you are not becoming more holy is because God is not reigning in your heart.
[00:11:06] Ah.
[00:11:07] And out of this majestic holiness, God does wonderful things.
[00:11:15] Awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders.
[00:11:19] The character of God expresses itself in God doing awesome and wonderful things.
[00:11:31] I talked to my friend this week, the company, Bill Simmons, the company that built these two buildings.
[00:11:44] And I, I love the church. When it's all decorated for Christmas, it makes it look. I just love it all.
[00:11:55] And I told him how beautiful the church looked.
[00:12:01] And then I told him again how grateful I was for the good work that they did to build such a beautiful place.
[00:12:15] You can compare this church to any church in northeastern Ohio and we'll come out a little bit better.
[00:12:21] Um, and my friend reminded me of, ah, what wonderful things God did to make it possible for all of this to be here.
[00:12:38] God is not a God who just did wonderful things in the past and retired sometime after the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
[00:12:47] He is still a God who out of the riches of his holiness, is doing wonderful things in the world.
[00:12:56] He's just looking for partners who will trust him enough to do something wonderful with Him.
[00:13:05] He's looking for partners who value his holiness and want to show his holiness in an unholy world. And, and he's going to do wondrous deeds through Him.
[00:13:17] I'm telling you young people, it is a good thing to invest your life in God.
[00:13:23] He's going to do awesome things and you can be part of it.
[00:13:27] Don't waste your life on the trivial things of the world be part of something that has eternal reality and eternal value.
[00:13:39] The holiness of God is connected to his steadfast love.
[00:13:44] We've already studied the moral attribute of steadfast love.
[00:13:48] But in this passage, Moses connects the holiness of God with his steadfast love. What does that look like?
[00:13:59] You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed.
[00:14:07] Listen to this.
[00:14:10] God reigns out of his holiness.
[00:14:15] And in that reign, he leads us.
[00:14:20] Part of the reign of God is He leads us. He creates opportunities in our life. He directs us. He redirects us.
[00:14:29] And Moses is saying here, because you reign in holiness, you end up guiding us by your steadfast love.
[00:14:41] It's part of your reign.
[00:14:44] And then he says, the place you guide us is what we need the most. You guide us to redemption.
[00:14:52] Redemption means God buys us back to himself.
[00:14:57] All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We've turned everyone to his own way.
[00:15:03] There isn't one person in this room, There isn't one person who's watching online, who hasn't. Who hasn't messed up their life in some way.
[00:15:14] And we who are honest are willing to admit it. And some of you struggle with that. All right, please listen to this.
[00:15:24] Because God is holy.
[00:15:26] He reigns in holiness.
[00:15:29] That reign of holiness looks like God guiding us by his steadfast love. Where is he guiding us? He's guiding us back into a holy relationship with himself. He is redeeming us from what is broken in us and reuniting us in holiness to Himself.
[00:15:52] Ah.
[00:15:53] Now, there are two ways of looking at the holiness of God.
[00:15:58] The first one is holiness means moral perfection.
[00:16:05] Ah.
[00:16:08] So the word moral has to do with my inner code of what is right and wrong, what is moral and what is immoral, what is ethical and what is unethical.
[00:16:23] Every one of us have an inner code of right and wrong.
[00:16:28] It's not. And it's not.
[00:16:31] It's not externally imposed.
[00:16:35] Your heart will tell you you did something wrong even when the people around you won't.
[00:16:44] Isn't it true every one of us had that. Have had that moment where our heart said, you screwed up, dude?
[00:16:56] Right?
[00:16:57] It is this moral code.
[00:17:00] The moral code in my soul is an expression of the reign of divine holiness. Who. Where did that come from?
[00:17:11] It couldn't have evolved by itself. It is a code that I can't live by. If I created my own code, I would certainly create one I had a chance of living up to.
[00:17:23] Right.
[00:17:24] I'm not going to set myself up to fail. Every Day. All right. So this moral code that is within me, it is an expression of the reign of divine holiness in my soul.
[00:17:40] In First Samuel, Hannah is worshiping God.
[00:17:44] Another example of a woman theologian in the Bible. Listen what she says.
[00:17:50] There is none holy like the Lord, for there is none beside you.
[00:17:58] There is no rock like our God.
[00:18:02] Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogance come from your mouth, for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
[00:18:16] Hannah says that he is distinguished by his holiness. Moses says that he is distinguished because of his holiness.
[00:18:25] His holiness challenges our arrogance.
[00:18:31] I'd like you to know that the holiness of God is thoughtful, not mindless.
[00:18:39] Sometimes we do the right thing without thinking a thing of it. Right?
[00:18:44] Doing the right thing isn't always something I have to sit down and think about and grit my teeth and try. Sometimes we just mindlessly do the right thing. We've got some good habits in our lives and we just mindlessly do the right thing. I mustn't ever think of holiness as God just mindlessly doing the right thing.
[00:19:07] God does the right thing. He is morally perfect.
[00:19:13] And it starts in the way he thinks.
[00:19:17] The knowledge of God is absolutely holy.
[00:19:25] Ah.
[00:19:26] Have you ever seen something you wish you could unsee?
[00:19:31] Anyone?
[00:19:34] All right.
[00:19:35] Do you have thoughts that you wish you didn't think?
[00:19:40] Yeah.
[00:19:42] I don't know. Why? I can remember stupid stuff I learned in junior high and it just pops in my head.
[00:19:51] And Bible verses. I have to work hard to remember what's up with that. All right.
[00:19:58] God is not like us.
[00:20:00] His thoughts are holy.
[00:20:04] He has no images in his mind that he doesn't want.
[00:20:08] He has no images of ugliness and the brokenness of life. He has no.
[00:20:14] These things do not exist in his nature or in his character.
[00:20:19] His mind is absolutely holy.
[00:20:26] Our American theologian Charles Hodd said holiness on the one hand, implies entire freedom from moral evil, and on the other, absolute moral perfection.
[00:20:42] Freedom from impurity is the primary idea of the Word.
[00:20:47] When I think about God, I have to think of one whose thoughts are free from impurity, whose choices are free from impurity, whose. Whose affections are free from impurity.
[00:21:05] Look at any part of the divine personality and you will find absolute purity, absolute freedom from anything that is broken, ugly and sinful.
[00:21:19] It's who he is.
[00:21:23] Each of God's moral attributes are perfect, flawless, and absolute.
[00:21:29] Now we've studied the moral attributes of God because God is holy.
[00:21:35] He is perfect in truth and trustworthiness.
[00:21:41] The truth of God is absolutely, entirely free from impurity.
[00:21:48] He is completely trustworthy because he's holy, because God is holy. He is perfect in goodness.
[00:21:57] There is nothing flawed in the goodness of God because He's holy, because God is holy. He's perfect in steadfast love because God is holy. He's perfect in righteousness.
[00:22:11] He's perfect in mercy, forbearance, love and grace. And he's perfect in all of these things because he is absolutely holy, free from all impurity, absolutely sparkling, transcendently, gloriously, beautifully holy.
[00:22:37] And his holiness touches all his other moral attributes because holiness is moral perfection.
[00:22:49] Are you putting this together with me?
[00:22:53] First to Church. Do you read me?
[00:22:56] All right. Thank you.
[00:23:00] All right.
[00:23:01] And now I look at this holy God and then I look at myself in the spiritual mirror.
[00:23:10] And I have to admit that I'm incapable of that kind of moral perfection.
[00:23:21] I'm just incapable of it.
[00:23:24] It's not a possibility.
[00:23:28] But God does say, you can imitate my holiness.
[00:23:39] You can go, you can start paying attention to what's going on in you.
[00:23:46] You can start holding yourself to a higher standard.
[00:23:52] Paul talks about it this way, taking every thought into obedience of Jesus Christ.
[00:24:02] I can't ever achieve the holiness of God, but I can start paying attention to the holiness of God and what effect it's having on the way I think, what effect it's having on my choices, what effect it's having on.
[00:24:20] On my affections.
[00:24:25] I can begin to say to myself, I don't permit you to think that way. It's inconsistent with the holiness of God.
[00:24:40] I don't permit you to follow that train of thought.
[00:24:44] It takes you away from the beauty and the perfection of God.
[00:24:49] Church.
[00:24:51] I can say to myself, I will not abide that inner anger.
[00:24:58] It is inconsistent with the holiness of God.
[00:25:01] I'm simply not going to let my give in to that because it takes me away from. From the majestic holiness of God.
[00:25:12] I started saying to myself, I can't make that choice anymore because it leads me away from the beauty, the majesty and the exalted goodness of the holiness of God.
[00:25:31] The second way we look at holiness is ah.
[00:25:36] Holiness also means to consecrate or to give yourself completely to.
[00:25:45] Leviticus, chapter 20, verse 26.
[00:25:49] You shall be holy to me, for I, the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples that you should be mine.
[00:26:00] The second kind of holiness is a consecration.
[00:26:04] So when you think about the temple, it was divided into two rooms. The largest room was called the Holy place.
[00:26:14] And then behind the Holy place there was a smaller room. And it was called the Holy of Holies.
[00:26:20] And in that smaller room there was a golden box and it had two angels on top of it and their wings touched and there was an. There was an open spot underneath where their wings touched. And that was called the mercy seat.
[00:26:38] And the Israelites believed that the presence of God rested in that space.
[00:26:48] It was called the Holy of Holies. When we say the holy of Holies, we're not saying a morally perfect place.
[00:26:57] We're saying a place that is absolutely, completely consecrated to God.
[00:27:04] Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. It was called the holy mountain.
[00:27:11] It wasn't a morally perfect mountain. Mountains are not capable of morality. But it meant a mountain that was consecrated, totally dedicated to God.
[00:27:24] So this second form of holiness is a giving of oneself completely to God and we become a holy people. What does that mean? People who are consecrated to God.
[00:27:40] Okay, it turns out that in doing this we are also imitating God because God is absolutely committed.
[00:27:53] God is consecrated to his own perfection and glory.
[00:27:58] God gives himself completely to his own perfection and glory.
[00:28:08] This bothers people sometimes.
[00:28:12] Why?
[00:28:14] They say, why?
[00:28:15] Isn't it a bit egotistical of God to be so committed to his own glory? All right, that's a fair question. And I believe I have a fair answer.
[00:28:25] Chronicles 16:29.
[00:28:28] Ascribe to the Lord the glory. Do his name.
[00:28:34] Listen. Listen what the Bible says.
[00:28:37] There's something about God that deserves to be glorified.
[00:28:44] We don't glorify him to give him something he doesn't otherwise have.
[00:28:50] You can't give God anything. Do you understand that? The earth is the Lord's in the fullness thereof.
[00:28:56] I believe. I've told you, if everybody on the earth stood up at one time and cursed God, it wouldn't take a thing away from Him.
[00:29:05] At the same time, if everybody on the earth stood up and praised him, it wouldn't add anything to Him.
[00:29:13] He is self sufficient. We don't add anything to Him. We don't take anything from Him.
[00:29:20] And because of that he deserves to be glorified.
[00:29:27] Ah, the glory of the Lord is necessary for us because it has a way of creating proper values for us.
[00:29:39] We don't know what we should value the way we should about.
[00:29:45] I don't know.
[00:29:46] 20 years ago I bought some silver coins and they only cost about $30.
[00:29:56] If I had any good values, I'd have bought a whole lot more than I did because now those same coins are about 50, $60.
[00:30:08] It's hard for us to know the real value of stuff There have been many times in my life where I didn't value what was happening in the moment. And I look back at and say, if I could have done over again, I would have spent more time doing this and less time doing this. Right. We have a hard time with our values.
[00:30:34] Ah.
[00:30:34] So the glory of the Lord is a way of creating healthy values.
[00:30:43] I start my value scale with the glory of the Lord.
[00:30:50] Nothing is more valuable than the Lord.
[00:30:55] That's where we start.
[00:30:57] And then we create all our other values based on that.
[00:31:02] So if my value for the Lord isn't right, my value for everything else is going to be off. You get it?
[00:31:09] If I'm not holding God in the highest place in my values, if he is not most glorious to me, then I'm going to misjudge a lot of things.
[00:31:20] Ah.
[00:31:22] The awesome nature of God's character deserves to be valued above everything else.
[00:31:34] God glorifies his name because it is perfectly right to do. And anything else would be unacceptable.
[00:31:44] Can you hear this church?
[00:31:46] The glory of the Lord is connected to the holiness of the Lord because the Lord is absolutely morally perfect because there is no impurity in him, because he does everything right.
[00:32:03] He deserves to be glorified.
[00:32:06] Can you hear this?
[00:32:08] All right.
[00:32:10] And when I glorify him because of his holiness, it starts changing how I see the value of other things.
[00:32:23] Ah.
[00:32:25] When I was a teenage kid wearing army surplus shirts and bell bottom blue jeans, back when fashion was awesome, I used to look at rock stars on.
[00:32:48] I can't remember the name of that show. Every Saturday night, the midnight special. They had these rock shows all the time. Anybody remember?
[00:32:56] All right.
[00:32:58] Wolfman Jack.
[00:33:00] All right. Okay. You get me sidetracked all the time.
[00:33:07] When I lived in Missouri, you could hear Wolfman Jack on the radio because he was broadcasting from somewhere in Mexico and he just had that. He had the energy turned all up.
[00:33:18] And he would. At Christmas time, he offered to sell you a genuine autographed picture of Jesus Christ.
[00:33:30] Okay. I don't know how I get off on this stuff, but all right.
[00:33:40] I looked at these rock stars when I was 18, 19, 20 years old, and I said, man, these people are living a great life.
[00:33:51] I couldn't have been stupider than to say that they weren't living a great life. They were drug addicts. They lived miserable lives. They drugged themselves from city to city.
[00:34:04] Ah. Ah. They found no joy in life.
[00:34:08] Many of them couldn't make it to 27 years old.
[00:34:15] I looked at something that had no glory at all, and I gave it an artificial glory. Do you see what I'm trying to say? All right.
[00:34:26] I need to understand the holiness of God, because when I do, I. He is exalted in my sense of what is really glorious.
[00:34:36] And when I get that right, then the other things in my life, they start falling into place, and I end up having healthy and good values.
[00:34:49] Ah.
[00:34:55] The glory of the Lord. And is absolutely consistent with his holiness.
[00:35:04] And the glory of the Lord and His holiness inspire worship.
[00:35:10] Worship is not something you work yourself up to do.
[00:35:15] All right. I want to say this again. Worship is not that good feeling you get when the band is hitting on all 12 cylinders. See? 12 people up here today. What a band, huh?
[00:35:34] I guess we ought to have more snow days. Lexi. All right.
[00:35:39] Worship is not the fuzzy feeling I get when my favorite Christian singer is getting it right.
[00:35:47] You can get that same fuzzy feeling by all kinds of music.
[00:35:52] Okay? Worship is what happens in my soul when I'm thinking about God in a proper way.
[00:36:02] And I'm irresistibly drawn to praise him in some way.
[00:36:08] Do you see?
[00:36:11] I. I sit in my study chair and I read Christian theology, and I find myself unable to keep from saying to God, you are altogether awesome.
[00:36:25] You are beautiful. I worship you. Okay?
[00:36:29] Worship is an irresistible impulse to praise God because you're thinking about him in a healthy and beautiful way. That's what worship is. All right.
[00:36:41] When I understand the holiness of God and the glory that it deserves, I'm going to feel this impulse to worship God.
[00:36:55] I've preached on this passage before. Revelation, chapter four. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around with, and within and day and night.
[00:37:10] They never cease to say, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come.
[00:37:20] And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the 24 elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. And they cast their crowns before the throne, saying, worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory, honor, power. For you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created. Do you see what happened here?
[00:37:54] The. The four living creatures, they're thinking about the holiness of God. And. And they burst out into worship.
[00:38:07] The 24 elders. They hear the four living beings talking about the holiness of God.
[00:38:15] They fall before the throne and they burst out in worship.
[00:38:21] When I'm thinking correctly about the. The holiness and the glory of God, I'm going to have a natural impulse to worship.
[00:38:31] I'm going to have an irresistible impulse to worship.
[00:38:35] I'm going to have this overwhelming sense that this God who has this nature is altogether worthy of this kind of phrase.
[00:38:47] All right.
[00:38:50] First Peter 1 Therefore, preparing your minds for action and being sober minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
[00:39:10] As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance.
[00:39:17] But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.
[00:39:23] Since it is written, you shall be holy. For I am holy.
[00:39:28] You hear this.
[00:39:30] The God whose nature is free from impurity, the God whose nature is morally perfect.
[00:39:44] He says, I want you to value my holiness enough that you aspire to more holiness in your own life.
[00:39:59] Church Ah.
[00:40:05] He says to us, there's something that is so innately valuable about holiness that if you would see my holiness and you would aspire to holiness yourself, it would be a game changer in your life.
[00:40:29] All right, now, I have to be. We all have to be brutally honest.
[00:40:36] Holiness is a hard scale to live up to.
[00:40:41] It's just a whole lot easier to make all these little compromises in our life.
[00:40:48] It's not that I'm going to be absolutely wicked.
[00:40:52] It's not that I'm going to go out and commit a crime, but I've set my standard too low.
[00:41:01] I don't aspire to this quality of heart, this beauty of soul, this dignity of life that reflects the holiness of God.
[00:41:16] I'm content to live with a certain level of compromise in my heart and mind.
[00:41:29] I'm content to say I'm not as bad as I used to be or I'm not as bad as this person.
[00:41:38] When God is saying, there's something so much better.
[00:41:43] If you could lift your sights a little higher, if you could see me a little more clearly in my holiness, and you could see the wonder and the majesty and the beauty of living a holy life, if you could understand that there is a holiness that will, that will characterize eternity, that makes it infinitely better than the brokenness of this life, then you're going to be living closer to the holy God and His holiness is going to start having an effect on you.
[00:42:17] Church but we have to value the holiness of God and we have to get serious with ourselves about glorifying him in his holiness and aspiring to be more holy like he is holy.
[00:42:32] Our dear Heavenly Father, I pray that your spirit would do his good work that only he could do.
[00:42:40] I pray that these would be more than concepts and ideas.
[00:42:45] But somewhere in our inner self, your Holy Spirit would start to create a passion.
[00:42:52] A passion to know you in your holiness.
[00:42:55] A passion to see the glory of your holiness.
[00:43:00] A passion to be affected by your holiness.
[00:43:05] And then I pray that to hear you say, because I am holy, you be holy. It would trigger a genuine desire in our hearts.
[00:43:16] And I ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
