Subject: MY WORD

Psalm 24:1–10 (The Living Bible) 1 The earth belongs to God! Everything in all the world is his! 2 He is the one who pushed the oceans back to let dry land appear. 3 Who may climb the mountain of the Lord and enter where he lives? Who may stand before the Lord? 4 Only those with pure hands and hearts, who do not practice dishonesty and lying. 5 They will receive God’s own goodness as their blessing from him, planted in their lives by God himself, their Savior. 6 These are the ones who are allowed to stand before the Lord and worship the God of Jacob. 7 Open up, O ancient gates, and let the King of Glory in. 8 Who is this King of Glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, invincible in battle. 9 Yes, open wide the gates and let the King of Glory in. 10 Who is this King of Glory? The Commander of all of heaven’s armies!

Psalm 24:3–5 (Tanakh) 3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place?— 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not taken a false oath by My life or sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall carry away a blessing from the Lord, a just reward from God, his deliverer.

Psalm 24:3–5 (ESV) 3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. 5 He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psalm 18:20–21 (The Living Bible) 20 The Lord rewarded me for doing right and being pure. 21 For I have followed his commands and have not sinned by turning back from following him.

Psalm 26:1–12 (The Living Bible) 1 Dismiss all the charges against me, Lord, for I have tried to keep your laws and have trusted you without wavering. 2 Cross-examine me, O Lord, and see that this is so; test my motives and affections too. 3 For I have taken your loving-kindness and your truth as my ideals. 4 I do not have fellowship with tricky, two-faced men; they are false and hypocritical. 5 I hate the sinners’ hangouts and refuse to enter them. 6 I wash my hands to prove my innocence and come before your altar, 7 singing a song of thanksgiving and telling about your miracles. 8 Lord, I love your home, this shrine where the brilliant, dazzling splendor of your presence lives. 9 Don’t treat me as a common sinner or murderer who plots against the innocent and demands bribes. 11 No, I am not like that, O Lord; I try to walk a straight and narrow path of doing what is right; therefore in mercy save me. 12 I publicly praise the Lord for keeping me from slipping and falling.

James 4:7–8 (The Living Bible) 7 So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and let your hearts be filled with God alone to make them pure and true to him.

Psalm 51:10–12 (The Living Bible) 10 Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires. 11 Don’t toss me aside, banished forever from your presence. Don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me again the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.

2 Corinthians 7:1 (AV) 1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Psalm 29:1–2 (Tanakh) 1 A psalm of David. Ascribe to the Lord, O divine beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name; bow down to the Lord, majestic in holiness.

Psalm 96:8–9 (Tanakh) 8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name, bring tribute and enter His courts. 9 Bow down to the Lord majestic in holiness; tremble in His presence, all the earth!

Matthew 5:48 (AV) 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

1 Thessalonians 4:7 (CJB) 7 For God did not call us to live an unclean life but a holy one.

1 Peter 1:14–19 (CJB) 14 As people who obey God, do not let yourselves be shaped by the evil desires you used to have when you were still ignorant. 15 On the contrary, following the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in your entire way of life; 16 since the Tanakh says, “You are to be holy because I am holy.” 17 Also, if you are addressing as Father the one who judges impartially according to each person’s actions, you should live out your temporary stay on earth in fear. 18 You should be aware that the ransom paid to free you from the worthless way of life which your fathers passed on to you did not consist of anything perishable like silver or gold; 19 on the contrary, it was the costly bloody sacrificial death of the Messiah, as of a lamb without defect or spot.

[Please Note:  Always Read the Word of God in Context asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation.   2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams)   16  For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed.  Please pay attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
