GOD IS HOLY, BE HOLY
We Praise Your Name, Lord of All Creation, One God, Glory Belongs, We Fall Down
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), how well do you think you know God?
1 Peter 1:15-16
15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Jeremiah 9:23-24
23 Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; 24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.
