God’s holiness, his utter purity of character, is what distinguishes him from all other rivals: Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders. (Ex. 15:11) There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. (1 Sam. 2:2)
