What does the Bible say about who can dwell in God's presence?

Psalm 15 begins with a profound question: 'Who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?' The psalmist answers by describing the character of those who are acceptable to God. They must walk in integrity, practicing justice, and speaking truth in their hearts. This represents not only ethical behavior but a deeper relational fidelity to God, reflecting the character of Christ Himself. Only through Jesus, who perfectly fulfilled the law and embodied integrity, can anyone hope to enter into God's presence, as He is the only one who has truly lived without sin.
