What in the Heck Does “Holy” mean?
AN ANIMATED EXPLANATION
How do we understand God’s holiness? And what does it mean for humans to share in this holiness? If you are confused, overwhelmed (or even a little put off) by the concept of holiness, this quick video from BibleProject can fix it, friend. In fact, they – as usual – manage to take a heady, ethereal theological concept and break it down like whoa.
If you are not familiar with BibleProject, we highly recommend you check them out. They are committed to understanding the Bible in its historical context and communicating its wisdom for the modern world. Their videos offer everything from character deep-dives, book-by-book summaries, and even topical themes. It is a great way to visualize and contextualize Scripture.
We want to hear from you now.
What comes to mind when you hear the term, “holy?” Does this explanation help you shift your understanding of holiness? Of God? Of yourself?
Yes! This is so good!
Great Resource!
What first comes to mind is Holy meant, being close to God. I loved the comparison to the sun, Holy seems much more grand than I realized.
So insightful and helpful!
