The chief aim in the life of a Christian is to glorify God by conforming more and more into His image and that of being holy. And our holiness is not measured by conduct foremost but by looking to our God who is holy, holy, holy. In this message Jim Sole talks about what holiness is by pointing to God as the model for holiness. He also begins to look at eleven encounters of human beings with God – nine in the Old Testament and four in the New Testament and by their responses, we will begin to grasp the holiness of God.

Salvation is a call to holiness. Our God who is Holy, Holy, Holy calls out a people to become like Him. In Peter’s opening instructions to these suffering believers, he emphasizes the that the model of holiness is not our conduct or behavior, but our God Himself. In this second part of Pastor Jim’s message on our model for a Holy life we will begin seeking to see God as He is . . . holy, holy, holy . . . and the transforming power such a look will do in us.
