Can the Immaculate one take pleasure in filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6).
The Lord is glorious in holiness (Exodus 15:11).
God’s nature is Holy, infinitely and immaculately holy described as the Holy One the only only one that is holy. He took on sin and was made sin for us. He knew sin more than any other man because he was holy the pain shame and suffering for him was far greater a burden than it would be for the vilest of human kind, as we all are born in sin and shapen by iniquity but in him was found no sin.
Holiness adorns him
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 29:2 Psalm 27:4).
His holiness is his most prominent, dominant and excellent attribute and it seems that scripture pays more attention to his holiness than any other attribute. For his holiness adorns him. its his garment and raiment, his power and his nature, his presence and his voice. Holiness adorns him. His justice is holy His wisdom is holy, his arm is a holy arm (Psalm 98:1) his truth is a holy truth (Psalm 105;42). We are exhorted to worship him in the beauty of holiness.
To truly worship him is to adore his name,
‘Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendour of His holiness;’ (Psalm 29:2). There’s a glory that is due to his name, when we baptise in his name, that too becomes an act of worship. When we lay hands on the sick and pray the pray of faith in his name this too becomes an act of reverence and worship to the one who bears his Holy Name, Jesus,
Did God create sin?
No. Sin entered into the heart of man from external things God did not create sin. The angels that fell form Heaven were created holy (Jude 6) Satan thou wast perfect in in thy ways from the day that thou was created till iniquity was found in thee (Ezekiel 28:15). For one sin Moses was kept form entering Caanan, For one sin Adam and Eve were banished from the garden. For one sin Ananias and Sapphira paid the price of death in Acts. ‘Thou hatest all workers of iniquity’ (Psalm 5:3). All that God created he called good (Genesis 1:1).
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thess 5;23).
