The Intensity of God's Holiness

God's holiness is not just about separation from sin, but also about consecration to a profound commitment of love. Jesus' prayer in John 17 reveals this dual aspect as he sanctifies and consecrates himself for his disciples. The intensity of holiness lies in the deep devotion to the Father and love for humanity, exemplified by the trinitarian relationship of mutual consecration. This love is so intense that it overwhelms and exposes the selfishness and inadequacy of human nature, leading to a need for cleansing and restoration.
