Only Christ Can Ascend

Only Christ Can Ascend

This question and answer points to Jesus Christ. The psalm was written hundreds of years before Jesus walked the earth but the answer is nonetheless Jesus Christ. 

So what about us? Are we able to ascend the mountain of the Lord. Simply put, without Jesus, no. 

When God looks at you without the blood of Jesus on your life, He sees your sin and is repulsed! Let that marinate. 

However, when you accept what Jesus did on the cross for the forgiveness of your sin and thus are covered by the blood of Jesus, when God looks at you He sees Jesus and is pleased. 

Therefore, apart from Christ, you cannot ascend the mountain of the Lord nor stand in His Holy Place. 

Accept what Jesus did on the cross for the forgiveness of your sin, today! Tomorrow  is not promised. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Psalm 24:3-4

3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.
