"In all I've read on God's holiness, I continually notice how authors search for words to adequately express the concept...adjectives and adverbs [like the following are often used]: wholly, absolutely, infinitely, incomprehensible, supreme, consuming, exalted, solitary, unique, peerless. When we've exhausted the resources of our language, we still have not described God. He is indeed incomprehensible.
...
But perhaps when we've done all our explaining, we can't improve upon that threefold ascription of the seraphs who cried out, 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty.' This is the heart response of all who fear God."
-Jerry Bridges from his book I Exalt You, O God.
