Listen "The Holiness of God"
Episode Synopsis
Do we want to see the holiness of God? The answer might be more complicated than it seems. A glimpse of God's holiness immediately makes us aware of our own sin. But it's also the thing that empowers our obedience and gives us hope that all that is wrong with the world will be made right.In this episode of Let's Talk, Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger talk about our complicated relationship with holiness. If we fail to appreciate God's holiness, we fail to know God as he really is. Jackie warns, "We live in a society that continues to frame and shape God around its own cultural ideas, which means you have a God that's always changing. He's always becoming like whatever decade you live in, when he doesn't exist like that. I want a God who is not mutable like me, so that I can actually stand on something that's solid, for eternity."Mentioned in this EpisodeDwell Bible AppHolier Than Thou: How God’s Holiness Helps Us Trust Him (forthcoming) by Jackie Hill PerryMachete SeasonRelated ResourcesHoliness of God (TGC Essay)How to Be Unholy as You Pursue HolinessWhy It's Good that God Is Different from YouHow to Become HolyThis season of Let’s Talk is sponsored by RTS Global, the online program at Reformed Theological Seminary.
