Messages about the love and goodness of God are always popular. These qualities are especially familiar and comforting to study in relation to our heavenly Father. But there’s one attribute about God that we don’t often think about.

In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about how we respond to the divine attribute of holiness. All of God’s laws, principles, and actions are derived from this essential characteristic. It can inspire humble awe and reverence, or arouse a prideful rage.

God calls His children to reflect His holiness in our actions and attitudes. Recognizing His utter sinlessness sets our sinful habits in sharp contrast. Though we may stumble, He has declared us worthy because of the blood of Jesus. Pursuing the rule and reign of holiness in our lives will direct our choices towards obedience, and our hearts towards praise to the One who makes it possible.

This message is part of the series "The Privilege of Knowing God."
