The cited phrase highlights the beauty and purity of God's nature. Holiness in the Bible signifies being set apart, and God's holiness is a central attribute. Believers are instructed to approach God with awe and reverence, recognizing His moral perfection and separation from sin.

This orientation (emphasizing an internal attitude of reverence) contrasts with honoring a deity through external rituals and ceremonies. (In John 4:24, Jesus instructed the Samaritan woman at the well in Sychar to worship God in spirit and truth, reflecting a heart posture aligned with God's holy nature.)
