The Character of God: Holiness and Law

  • Core Scripture: Exodus 20; Psalm 19; Isaiah 6:1-5; 1 Timothy 1:8-11.

  • The Argument: A "shrunken view of God" leads to a shallow faith. We must rediscover the "Majesty" and "Holiness" of God. The Law is "good if used lawfully"—to mirror God's character and expose man’s need.

  • Greek Focus: Nomos (Law) as a mirror of Hagios (Holiness).

  • Study: Listen to The Character of God sermon series

  • Key Concept: Study the "Right Use of the Law" (1 Timothy 1:8). The Law is the "eyewash" that prepares the sinner to see the Savior.

  • Study Questions:

    • How does the "Fear of the Lord" act as a guardrail for the believer’s soul?

    • Explain the "Right Use of the Law" as taught in 1 Timothy 1.

    • Why is "Holiness" the primary attribute of God around the Throne?

  • Key Verse: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10)
