The reason is revealed in Psalm 24 verses 1 and 2.
“The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. “
Think about that and work backwards in the two verses.
God founded or created the world.
He is the Maker and the Maker owns what he has made.
The earth belongs to the Lord God and not only the earth but all that is in it.
Now he is talking about you and me. He made us. It gets personal.
In verse 3 David asks,
“Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?”
In other words, who can stand before our Maker?
The answer is given in verse 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.”
There is the accountability for us all to live godly lives because we are made by him.
Verse 5 tells us the blessing for those who accept this accountability and seek God.
“He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.”
If you want a godly life but haven’t turned to Jesus for salvation, then watch my video on YouTube, "The Gospel."
May God Bless you!
