A sense of familiarity can dull our appreciation of the awesomeness of God. In particular, we fail to appreciate His holiness: His majesty, power and purity. Today’s passage teaches us that, by appreciating God’s holiness, we can better understand His grace. The gospel of Jesus Christ reveals God’s holiness and God’s grace, and we must embrace both in order to live as we ought to. In the two parts of today’s passage, we see that God’s holiness requires grace; and that God’s grace should result in our holiness.
Hebrews 12:18-29 - "Holiness"
