Revealed Review: Creator, Holy, Love

In this devotion we are looking at different natures, qualities of God. Although we are separating these qualities to study and explore them, it is crucial to remember that God is complete and undivided. Each aspect of God is always present and always at work. They cannot be separated from each other as he breathes, moves, and speaks.

This week is purposefully set aside to let the last 12 weeks digest, while considering how these three characteristics of God—Creator, Holy, and Love—work, interlock together. To help get you started, consider these questions: How does Creator God reveal his holy and loving nature? In what ways is love the driving force in creation? Why is holiness a crucial part of our redemption and discipleship?

Revealed Week 9, Treasure Map

Let’s think about holiness as if it were a treasure map. God draws a boundary line, a separation, around all his character, the depths of his riches. The line separates all of who he is from everything that he is not. The border of this land is accessible to everyone. It attracts many visitors. However, to cross over the border you must be washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Although his blood, his very life, is given to us without price, it does requires us to give up our old self and become new creations in him. There is no other way.
