Learning about holiness is going to be my quest. I want to learn about God's holiness and how that relates to us. His holiness sets Him apart.
Here are the definitions of Holy from the dictionary:
ho·ly (h
l
)

l
)adj. ho·li·er, ho·li·est
1. Belonging to, derived from, or associated with a divine power; sacred.
2. Regarded with or worthy of worship or veneration; revered: a holy book.
3. Living according to a strict or highly moral religious or spiritual system; saintly: a holy person.
4. Specified or set apart for a religious purpose: a holy place.
5. Solemnly undertaken; sacrosanct: a holy pledge.
6. Regarded as deserving special respect or reverence: The pursuit of peace is our holiest quest.
7. Informal Used as an intensive: raised holy hell over the mischief their children did.
I'm pretty sure that none of these capture what God's holiness is. I am fascinated by the idea of being in God's presence, experiencing the holiness of God. Lately I found myself dreaming of being in the presence of God, worshipping at His feet and what that must be like.
So I do not have any answers, only questions tonight. What do I know of Holy?
