Psa 24:3, WHO MAY ASCEND INTO THE HILL OF THE LORD? Or WHO MAY STAND IN HIS HOLY PLACE?
NO MAN CAN BE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND LIVE (Ex 33:20) FOR OUR SINS ARE ALWAYS BEFORE US! HE DWELLS IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT (1Tim 6:16)
Psa 24:4, HE WHO HAS CLEAN HANDS AND A PURE HEART, WHO HAS NOT LIFTED UP HIS SOUL TO AN IDOL, NOR SWORN DECEITFULLY.
WELL THAT LEAVES ME OUT FOR I KNOW WHO I AM AND WHAT I’VE DONE!
Jer 17:9, “THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED; WHO CAN KNOW IT?
People say “FOLLOW YOUR HEART”, without knowing that the heart is extremely wicked!
Truth is that I did follow my heart and it only led to immorality! NO ONE ON EARTH QUALIFIES TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE!
Ecc 7:20, FOR THERE IS NOT A JUST MAN ON EARTH WHO DOES GOOD AND DOES NOT SIN.
BUT IN CHRIST WE HAVE HOPE, EVEN A PERSON LIKE ME!
1Pe 3:18, FOR CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED ONCE FOR SINS, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, THAT HE MIGHT BRING US TO GOD, BEING PUT TO DEATH IN THE FLESH BUT MADE ALIVE BY THE SPIRIT,
THE MAN I WAS IS DEAD AND I’M ALIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CHRIST! NOT BECAUSE I DESERVE IT, BUT BECAUSE HE PAID THE PENALTY FOR MY SINS WITH HIS BLOOD!
2Co 5:17, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, HE IS A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Psa 24:5, HE SHALL RECEIVE BLESSING FROM THE LORD, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM THE GOD OF HIS SALVATION.
Isa 61:10, I WILL GREATLY REJOICE IN THE LORD, MY SOUL SHALL BE JOYFUL IN MY GOD; FOR HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATION, HE HAS COVERED ME WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS….
HE has taken my filthy clothing and clothed me with HIS righteousness! ONLY IN CHRIST IS MAN ABLE TO STAND BEFORE THE FATHER! GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD!
