Lifting holy hands: holiness comes from imputed righteousness, not personal moral purity

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 19) 00:00:33 – 00:07:37

Embedded in the Psalm 18 discussion — the worship lyric "I lift up holy hands" was the prompt for the question.

Mike holds that when Christians sing about lifting "holy hands" the holiness is God-given through Christ, not earned by personal moral record. The Psalm 18 passage does not contradict this; David's claim of clean hands is situational (relative to his enemies' unjust attack), not an assertion of sinlessness.
