Today I had the joy of watching 3 parts of my favorite teaching series, The Holiness of God. I remember I first came across The Holiness of God about 10 years ago and the Lord really used it in my life. Dr. Sproul gave me an appreciation for an attribute of God which is seldom studied today. I came away from this study just being blown away at the magnificence of God. This series is one that I come back to again and again. I never tire of studying God’s holiness, it gives me a more exalted view of Him. I am so thankful that Yahweh is supremely holy, holy, holy. I am extremely thankful that instead of justice I receive mercy from Him through His Son dying for my sins to fulfill His holy requirement that sin be paid for.

I was excited to see that the series is on the Internet (although I suspect that it will only be archived for less than 2 months.) If you have free time you cannot go wrong in watching the videos. I pray that it will also bring you closer to God as it has for me. Each video is 30 minutes in length. If you’re like me you will want to keep watching, the 30 minutes pass too quickly. I’m going to watch the other 3 parts this week.

Information on the series from Ligonier’s website:
The Holiness of God is Ligonier’s most popular and enduring series. Literally thousands of people have testified to a transforming encounter with God through this series.

This classic can help you better understand the biblical picture of God’s awesome holiness and why it is so foundational to God-centered, God-honoring theology and Christian living. In The Holiness of God, R.C. demonstrates that encountering God’s holy presence is a terrifying experience. Dr. Sproul argues that this struggle is nonetheless necessary because it is the only way to cure our propensity to trust in ourselves and our own righteousness for salvation.
