Holiness as the Foundation of God’s Attributes
Analogy★★★★Imagine for a moment that we know that God is all-knowing, He is omniscient, but imagine that an all-knowing God was not holy. Wouldn’t that be terrifying? He would be a tyrant. He could be a tyrant if he was not holy and good. Or imagine if we know that God is all-powerful, imagine what an all-powerful God could be if he wasn’t holy.
Atcheson, Nina; Flickinger, Eric, “02 To Know God” (AudioVerse teaching 45348).
The point
The illustration uses the analogy of an all-knowing and all-powerful God who lacks holiness to convey how terrifying such a deity would be, emphasizing the importance of God's holiness.
