1) God is holy in His very nature.
2) God's essence is purity.
3) God is holy in His Word.

1) The holiness of man consists in his conformity to the holiness of god.

c. Therefore we are to serve Him in holiness and righteousness.
4. How do we conceal the words of the Holy One?

2) We do this when we deny the gospel and seek some other way of salvation.
b. When we conceal the word from others.
1) By not confessing the truth.
2) By clouding the truth with error.

5. The man who conceals the Word is out of order with God.
6. By concealing God's Word we are being disloyal to God.
7. There are two ways in which we can avoid the sin of concealment.
a. By taking care that we make open profession of our faith and unite with the people of God.
b. By keeping ourselves clear of sinful silence by speaking to others of the things of God.
