God's name is holy, reflecting His inherent holiness. We bear His name as sons of God, baptized into it, and the Third Commandment measures our spiritual cleanliness by the quality of our witness to all that His name implies. We must not take His name in vain, for the Lord will not hold us innocent if we do. In the Lord's Prayer, the first request is "Hallowed be Your name," a plea for God to take action to hallow His name, as only He can enable us to do so through His work in us. Where His name is truly hallowed, there is peace, harmony, unity, prosperity, joy, creativity, and endless life. God's holiness, described as "holy, holy, holy" in Isaiah, reveals His transcendent purity, setting Him infinitely apart from us in every quality. This holiness is not just an attribute but enhances all others, making His love, mercy, and justice uniquely holy. We are called to holiness, to be set apart and reflect purity in our relationship with Him, treating each other with deference as those separated by God, regardless of our current state of heart or conduct. Only God can sanctify and make something holy, lifting it from the commonplace to the special, as He has done with us by calling us out from the crowd. True holiness in us must be experiential, developed through obedience and a relationship with Him, enabled by His Spirit, to transform us into His likeness.
