Psalms 24 Study & Commentary
Psalm 24 declares God’s ownership of the earth and asks who may ascend His holy hill. It concludes with the call for the "everlasting doors" to be lifted for the King of Glory.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. God’s Ownership: "The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof" (v. 1). We are stewards, not owners, of the resources God has placed in our hands.2. Clean Hands and Pure Hearts: Access to God’s presence is tied to moral and internal purity (v. 3-4). We need the sanctifying work of the Spirit to stand before Him.
3. Opening the Gates: We must lift up the "gates" of our hearts to let the King of Glory enter. He is strong and mighty to save.
