This year I’ve been studying Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7. In chapter 6, I’m learning more about what we call the Lord’s prayer. It says in verse 9, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. . .”
The words, ‘hallowed be your name’ made me wonder if we were asking that God be made holy. Not at all. We are stating the truth—God is holy. As I studied related verses in Leviticus 11, commentary notes said that when God’s holiness is spoken of, it refers to His incredible majesty and His moral virtue. How inspiring—we worship God’s awesome majesty and perfect purity.
Majesty calls to mind glory, power, and authority. Purity reminds me we approach a perfectly sinless Savior. The beauty for us is that Jesus made our approach possible, as explained in Ephesians 3:12—”In him (Christ) and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” And with hearts filled with worship and praise that He richly deserves.
Hallelujah! Praise God for His awesome majesty and perfect purity!
