Infinite Holiness Observed Imperfectly
God's holiness is
Infinite, unchangeable,
Perfect righteousness.
Perfect righteousness,
Holiness is consistent,
Steady, unchanging.
God's holiness is
Triune, is demanded of
All of creation:
"Be ye...for I AM,"
Commanded repeatedly,
Unchanging "be ye."
Examined, I can't
Be what I am commanded:
Holy as He Is.
Oh wretch! Commanded
To be holy, so holy:
God's holiness.
God's holiness
Must be from Himself to
Me, Christ's imputed.
Infinite holiness,
His name for my name is then
Life for life forever.
Infinite, unchangeable,
Perfect righteousness.
Perfect righteousness,
Holiness is consistent,
Steady, unchanging.
God's holiness is
Triune, is demanded of
All of creation:
"Be ye...for I AM,"
Commanded repeatedly,
Unchanging "be ye."
Examined, I can't
Be what I am commanded:
Holy as He Is.
Oh wretch! Commanded
To be holy, so holy:
God's holiness.
God's holiness
Must be from Himself to
Me, Christ's imputed.
Infinite holiness,
His name for my name is then
Life for life forever.

I read the past six posts. They were excellent. Many people acknowledge God's holiness and regard it as a standard that they hope to meet. Not an imperative of obedience. I am guilty of that.
