Why Study the Holiness of God?

The reason we are to study God’s holiness is not because we ourselves are holy—just the opposite is true. Today, R.C. Sproul announces that the holiness of God exposes our sin and directs us toward true righteousness.this

I wish I understood the holiness of God. I understand it a little bit, just a fraction. I study God’s holiness not because I’m holy but because I’m not holy, and I know it. It’s not enough simply to say, “I believe in God, some amorphous, mysterious, cloudy Spirit up in the sky.” But the God we believe in is personal and the God that we believe in is moral. He is ethical. He is holy. And He gives commandments to His people. And He gets exercised about whether we obey those commands.
