May 3 tanong na nais kong sagutin natin ngayon at sa pagsagot natin dito ay iapply natin ito sa ating buhay.

1.What is holiness when we talk about God? Ano ba ang tunay na kabanalan?
Isa.57.15.”For this what the high and the lofty one says,... whose name is holy”
God is holy, absolutely holy. Holiness is the essential nature of God. Banal
ang Dios at walang iba na kasing banal sa kanya.
Name- stands for character and being.
Without a holy God we don’t have a true GOD. Hindi natin maaring iseparate
ang kabanalan mula sa Dios. Ito ang rason bakit makakaawit ang mga anghel
sa langit “ Holy, holy, holy is the LORD“.

2. Anong ibig sabihin ng holy o banal? Holy means free from defilement, hindi
lang ito ang mere absence of defilement. He alone is pure. God is absolutely
pure.
1Jn 1.5 “God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.
Ang intensiyon ng mga utos at mga atas ng ating Dios sa mga aklat ng
Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus ay upang ituro na ang banal na Dios ay walang
Kasama at kapantay sa kanyang kabanalan.















3. How is holiness seen in our God? Paano makita ang kabanalan ng ating
Dios? How is holiness seen when He sees us as sinners?

. 1.God sees us as sinners, separating ourselves from God. Nakikita tayo ng
Dios bilang mga taong makasalanan na hindi maaring humarap sa kanya.
Ps. 5.4-6 “For thou art a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall
evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight :thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.
Isa.59.2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
And your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

2.God’s holiness demands our punishment. Ang pagkabanalbanal (holiness)
niya at ang pagkamuhi (hatred) niya sa kasalanan ay gaya ng ibang
attributes na puro ACTIVE. His attributes will always cause him to do
something.
Isa 53.6 ‘All we like sheep have turnedto his own way and the Lord LAID
on Him the iniquity of us all.
LAID – Heb. “caused to strike upon”

3.God’s holiness is seen in making an INFINITE SACRIFICE to save others
from sin. The death of Christ not only shows His love but also His holiness.
1Pet.3.18 “For Christ also suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he
might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the
spirit.”

Ang punishment ng kasalanan ay expression Niya ng kanyang kabanalan.
Siya ay banal at kinamumuhian niya ang kasalanan. Dahil siya lang ang
Tanging banal siya lang din ang tanging kabayaran ng ating mga
Kasalanan. Being holy He hates sin, demanding a proper and holy
payment for sin. Being so, He promptly became, through His Son, the
only fitting payment for our sins.

LESSONS:
1. God is holy and we are called to be like Him, holy.
2. He alone is holy and there could be none like Him.
3. We can only thank Him for though He is holy, He has expressed His holiness by sending his Son, our Savior and God to die in our place because we are unholy.
