Only a Holy God
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In the class titled "Only a Holy God," teacher Clint Davison led the congregation through a three‑part exploration of God's attributes: power, love, and holiness. He began by affirming that Scripture opens with Genesis 1:1, establishing God as the Creator, and cited Psalm 147:4‑5 and Jeremiah 10:12‑13 to illustrate God's sovereign control over the cosmos. The lesson emphasized Romans 1:20, which declares that creation reveals God's invisible power and divine nature, leaving humanity without excuse for unbelief. Davison then showed how God's authority extends beyond nature to human history, referencing 2 Chronicles 20:6 and Romans 13, which speak of God's rule over all kingdoms and the divine origin of earthly governments. The second segment highlighted God's compassion, noting that the same creator who commands the stars also cares deeply for His creation, a love revealed throughout the Bible. Finally, Davison focused on God's holiness, urging believers to mirror this attribute in their lives. He concluded that recognizing God's holiness should motivate personal holiness, shaping worship, conduct, and relationships. The class left participants with a renewed reverence for a God who is all‑powerful, all‑loving, and perfectly holy.
Key Scriptures
He determines the number of the stars; he gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord, and abundant in strength; his understanding is beyond measure.
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made.
