Why Holiness Matters

Do You Have The Right View Of God?

In today's society we think we have to choose between happiness and holiness. We might be tempted to embrace God as merely gracious and loving, leaving behind His holiness and justice. How would our lives change if we understood that all of God's attributes must be taken into account?

In this study of the Ten Commandments, Pastor Lutzer offers us a lesson beyond simple law-keeping by inviting us into the very presence of God. If we don't understand God's holiness, we will never fully appreciate the redemption found at the Cross.
