When Holiness Is Not Ours to Define

Holiness isn’t shaped by our sincerity or intentions, but by the standards God Himself has lovingly revealed, calling us to examine whether our devotion aligns with His will or merely our own understanding. The sobering accounts of Nadav, Avihu, and Uzzah remind us that even well-meaning acts can become “strange fire” when they depart from His command, inviting us back to a reverent, obedient walk with Him.
