When we look at the holiness of God and how we can get it wrong, we need not look any further than the example of Ananias & Sapphira in the early Acts church. As we come to Acts 5, we see the church in line with the Lord's leadership -- it is seeing miracles occur, needs taken care of, and God is adding to their number. Suddenly the brakes are hit as we learn of Ananias & Sapphira, their sin and choice to withhold from God the full truth of their donation. In this story, we see that God indeed takes holiness seriously and He desires a pure Bride, a pure Church. We can hide nothing from God. We must run to Him to confess and profess -- confess sin and profess Him as Lord.
