Communicable Attributes - Moral
Holiness
Theology Proper · 5 verses
God's holiness is His absolute moral perfection and infinite separation from all sin and moral evil. He is the thrice-holy One before whom the seraphim veil their faces. Divine holiness is the foundational attribute that governs God's dealings with sinful humanity and demands propitiation through the blood of Christ.
