Holiness Means Being Set Apart
- Holiness in the Bible fundamentally means being set apart or distinct, especially by connection to God.
- God's holiness is unique as Creator and sustainer, making holiness about relationship, not just morality or ritual.
All Ground Is Holy Ground
- God's presence fills all creation, making all ground holy in one sense.
- Yet certain places like the burning bush or temple have a unique, more tangible manifestation of God's holiness.
Distinguish Ritual and Moral Purity
- Separate ritual purity from moral purity: ritual relates to physical cleanliness, moral to behavior.
- Respect God's holiness by avoiding contamination before entering sacred spaces and living morally upright lives.
