How should we respond to the holiness of God?
Above all we should fear him
And like Jesus we should delight to fear him

We should perfect our holiness in the fear of the Lord - 2 Corinthians 7:1
We are to pursue holiness as an expression of our fear of Him

God is holy, we also need to practice humility
Deep humility is the only proper response as we see our sin in the light of His holiness
Nothing produces humility in Christianity as much as our sense of one's own sinfulness
We also grow in our gratitude to God for His mercy through Christ

Had sin never entered the world it would still be fitting for us to fear God
Key Phrase: Deep humility is the only proper response as we see our sin in the light of His holiness
