Psalm 15:1-5, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? [2] He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. [3] He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. [4] In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. [5] He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved."

This sermon from Pastor J.D. Montieth explores Who May Dwell On Your Holy Hill: "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? If a man has not asked this question of the Lord, he is not enlightened enough to have asked the most important question in his life. It was David’s question to the Lord, and it should be our question as well. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? What kind of man then shall be worthy enough to be in Thy holy presence? It is Heaven, therefore, that those who have wisdom should seek, for an answer to this most important question. This is why it is foolish for men to either ask themselves, or other men the road to eternal life, simply because without divine revelation, no man can have any proper sense of it at all. Heaven is God’s world and His mystical realm, and only a highly ignorant man would be so presumptuous to conclude that he by himself, knows anything concerning its entrance. See, it is only the Lord Who may enlighten a man’s heart as to how Heaven can be gained. The Lord revealing quite abundantly in scripture that His thoughts are not ours, and surely so when it comes to who will be found worthy to dwell on God’s holy hill (Isa. 55:8&9) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Because God’s thoughts are esteemedly higher than ours, should it not then teach us that we should reach for them, and not be so arrogant to presume that we know anything of either God, or the world Jesus has called us into without divine instruction? God’s Word warning us, that whatever we think we know about anything, is far short of what we really ought to know, and this knowledge must include entrance into God’s heavenly Kingdom.
