How holy is God? Scripture describes Him as a consuming fire—so pure, righteous, and glorious that no sinful person could stand in His presence apart from His mercy and grace. In Episode 12 of The Fear of the Lord, Duane Sheriff teaches that understanding God's holiness is essential to understanding both the fear of the Lord and the greatness of salvation through Jesus by distinguishing between tormenting fear (being afraid of God) and godly fear (reverence and worship of God).
Through faith in Jesus, we are transformed from children of darkness to children of light and are clothed in Christ's righteousness, enabling us to stand in God's holy presence, not with terror but with confidence. Drawing from Hebrews, Thessalonians, Daniel, and other Scriptures, Duane explains how the same holy fire that brings judgment to unbelief becomes cleansing, refining, and refreshing to those who trust in Christ. The account of the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace is an example of how God's presence burns away bondage while preserving His people.
Discover what true holiness really means—not an outward religious performance or cultural standard, but a Christ-like character formed within us through the transforming grace of God. #holiness #holy #holyspiritfire #consumingfire #graceandtruth #tormentingfear #fearofthelord #fearofgod #fear #mercy #salvation #christianteaching #christianliving #holyfire #transformation #duanesheriff #culture
