PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #11: QEDOSH YISRAEL
Key Scripture’s : Leviticus 19:1-2
Understanding the Name:
Qedosh is Hebrew for “Holy One,” a title for God that appears most frequently in the book of Isaiah, though it also appears in some of the other prophets (notably Hosea, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Habakkuk) and in Psalms and Job. It emphasizes God’s otherness, separateness, and mystery. The term most frequently used for “holy” in the New Testament is hagios.
To understand the title “Holy One of Israel,” Qedosh Yisrael (ke-DOSH yis-ra-AIL), we need first to understand that holiness is grounded in God’s nature. It refers not to one of his attributes but to the totality of his perfection. In his holiness, God exists above and apart from the world he has made.
Things, times, places, people, and other created beings became holy by virtue of their connection to God. Thus, the people of Israel became holy because God had chosen them. Their holiness was to be expressed and maintained through ritual practices and adherence to moral laws, which set them apart for the service of GOD.
It is important to realize that God’s holiness involves not just separation from sin, but his absolute hostility toward it. Christ ultimately bridged the chasm between God and sinful human beings by making himself the perfect offering for our sins. Believers are called to be holy as he is holy and are enabled to imitate Christ by the grace of the holy Spirit.
