Holy Holy Holy

Some say that love is God's chief attribute.
Obviously the seraphim disagreed.
In the temple, they did not say "love love love".

Others may say that God's chief attribute is justice.
Obviously, the seraphim disagreed.
You see, in the temple, they did no say "justice times three".

Some hold to the view that grace is God's chief attribute.
Obviously the seraphim disagreed.
In the temple, they did not shout "grace, grace, grace".

"So", you may ask, "what is God's chief attribute?"
On this the seraphs did agree.
With their lips they proclaimed, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!"

Note: Jehovah is a God of love (1 John 4:8), justice (Psalm 9:7), and grace (Titus 2:11-12). His holiness and righteousness are emphasized in Isaiah 6:1-8. In that particular passage, the heavenly host announced His holiness not once, but three times! Some like to downplay God's holiness, but it is indeed unavoidable.
