'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.'
Isaiah 6:3
Holiness speaks of greatness, perfection and worth. God's holiness is incomparable and matchless. He is set apart from all things, in terms of His greatness. His glory is essentially the public display of His holiness for all to see.
When God saves us, redeems us and restores us it is all for His glory. It points to His greatness. It points to His outrageous love, grace and kindness. He is the holy and glorious God.
(John Piper gives a great definition of the difference between holiness and glory http://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/what-is-god-s-glory .)
Reason no. 1107 :)
