Isaiah 6:2-3
Above him stood the seraphim . . . And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
Now, because we are dealing with worship, let us consider the joys and delights of the heavenly creatures, the seraphim, around the throne of God. . . .
We know very little about these created beings, but I am impressed by their attitude of exalted worship. They are close to the throne and they burn with rapturous love for the Godhead. They were engrossed in their antiphonal chants, “Holy, holy, holy!” . . .
The key words then and the keynote still of our worship must be “Holy, holy, holy!”
I am finding that many Christians are really not comfortable with the holy attributes of God. In such cases I am forced to wonder about the quality of the worship they try to offer to Him.
The word “holy” is more than an adjective saying that God is a holy God—it is an ecstatic ascription of glory to the Triune God.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
