THE HOLINESS OF GOD IS HIS GLORY
" The holiness of God is His glory, as His grace is His riches.... Holiness is the crown and beauty of all His other perfections. His power is a holy power. His wisdom is a holy wisdom. Without holiness, His patience would be an indulgence, His mercy fondness. His wrath madness, His power tyranny, and His wisdom mere subtlety. His name, which stands for all He is, is holy (Psalm 103:1).... He did not choose to be holy, for then He might have chosen to be unholy as well. Nor was He somehow compelled to be holy. Rather, holiness is a free necessity. It is simply inconceivable that He should be anything but holy." -preacher S. Charnock
