And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
ISAIAH 35:8 KJV
The desire and move of God since the fall had been to bring man back to Himself and so He created a way. In John 14:6, Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life and that no one comes to the Father but by Me”. From the fall, man was subjected to death and so his pursuit was for life. However, life could only be found in the tree of life, which was guarded by a flaming sword. The reason for this is that man was sinful and was approaching a Holy God. The Holiness of God is what sets Him apart. Only that which is Holy can approach God. God’s holiness can be illustrated to a degree by the sun. We are millions of miles away from the sun, yet in the summer, the heat can be excruciating that people die from a heat wave. Imagine being a mile away from the sun. A person would need to be like the sun to approach the sun. In a similar way, God is committed to raising holy men and women who will stand before Him.
