Scripture Reading : Psalm 15
Theme : Who may Dwell with God?
- God as Mankind’s Host (1). Living in God tent means to live with Him. The whole earth is God’s tent and everyone is His guest and tenant. Everyone should view God as their host and revere Him.
- Mankind as God’s Guest (2–5). We are all guests on God’s earth. Those who want to stay forever will need to follow His rules. These rules regulate the guests’ internal heart and external actions. The guests’ words must be restrained; allegiance clear cut; and dealings honourable. For these guests, they are assured of a permanent place on God’s earth. They need not be afraid of being evicted. God will give them eternal life/glorious existence through Jesus in His glorious kingdom on earth (John 4:13-14). No one can ever take this glorious existence away or ruin God’s eternal kingdom. It will be a happy everlasting ending in real life, not just in movies.
Praying the Scripture
If one’s life is not characterized by righteousness just as God is righteous, he is welcome in God’s presence. When God restores the earth, no sin can be allowed on His new earth. If you want to live on His future kingdom, you need to have a perfect righteousness through faith in Jesus and a desire to live righteously like Jesus. Faith is not a magic formula, but a commitment to God through Jesus. You need the desire to be committed to Jesus and then the Holy Spirit will give your spirit a new life and ability to obey Him (Rom. 8:1-4).
经文：诗篇15
主题：谁能与神同居？
- 神是人类的主（1）。“居住在神的帐幕”意味着与神同居。整个地球都是神的帐幕；每一个人都是祂的客人和房客。每个人当视神为自己的主，要敬畏祂。
- 人类为神之客（2-5）。我们都是神地球上的客人。想永远居住此地的当遵守祂的规则。这些规则能管制客人的内心和外在行为。客人的言语要有节制；忠诚对主；待人诚实。这一组客人将能在神的地上永久居住。他们不必担心自己会被驱逐。神会藉着耶稣在地上荣耀的国度给予他们永恒、荣耀的生命（约4:13-14）。无人能抢夺这等荣耀的存在或破坏神永恒的国度。这将是现实生命中永恒快乐的结局（不仅限于电影）。
用经文祷告
若人没有正直的生命，他是不能来到神的面前的，因为神是公义的神。当神复兴全世界的时候，罪是不容留在祂的新地的。你若想在神未来的国度里居住，就要藉着信靠耶稣有完美的公义，并渴望像耶稣一样过正直的生活。你需要有对耶稣委身的渴望，圣灵才会在你的灵里赐予新的生命和能力顺服祂（罗8:1-4）。
