In this Names of God reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture. Rather than having our writers share their own reflections on these passages, we’ve instead provided research-rich content to aid in your study of each day’s featured name of God, including the background of the name(s), a brief explanation of the character of God emphasized by the name(s), and a reflection question to help you dig deeper into the text.

Holy One
Qadosh (Hebrew)
Scripture Reading: Psalm 78:40-43, Psalm 89:15-18, Isaiah 41:12-20, Revelation 4:1-8
Description
The Hebrew word qadosh is translated “set apart as holy.” It can be used in a general sense to describe places, objects, and people who have been set apart for religious purposes. But as a name, Qadosh, or “Holy One,” describes God as one who is set apart from His creation, from all pagan gods, and from everything else because of His perfection. This name works like a double-edged sword: it reminds us that God is perfectly holy in every way, and it reminds us that we are not. The distinction of being the Holy One belongs to Him alone. This name exalts God above all others in His holiness.
Emphasis
The righteousness and holiness of God

Through the reading today what stuck out most to me about God the Holy One is that He is my defense wrapped in perfect love ❤️. He is the good Father that protects me from everything and He is always victorious. He is like no other. He is God all by Himself.

The more I learn and am reminded of Gods holiness, the greater his grace is over me. May my understanding of his holiness and my sin be a chasm that only grows over time.

No one is like our God, no prophet or pastor. He is THE Holy One, and He is okay even when we are not.

He is unmatched and unlike any other!! He is above all other and yet He loves us and calls us His own. We are holy because He is holy! We are set apart to reflect His love and light to the world.

This blows my mind again!!! Oh how perfect and good is my God in all his ways! Even when I don’t understand or feel lost God almighty who is set apart in His holiness has it all worked out in my favor in perfect time and order! Amen!

This reminds me that I should be incredibly glad God is set apart from His creation. If He were not, he wouldn’t be God as we know Him. He certainly couldn’t have died for our sins if He were not set apart. One thing that really struck me is how God makes such an emphasis that He is set apart but that He is still working for our good. He’s still right there with us every step of the way doing things to aid us that we may not even know of till we see Heaven. Amazing to know that our very salvation rests on the fact that He is set apart but our survival rests on the fact that He’s helping us.

Everything about Him is pure and undefiled. He IS the Holy One of Israel, and we are to forever lift His name up and glorify Him! ❤️✨
