Psalms 5:7
But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in the fear of you.
Tag: Loved by God; Love for God
This verses falls on the heals of statements in this Psalm by King David that God hates evildoers. The verse just prior to the above says that God is going to destroy those who speak lies. The contrast to those thoughts is found in the above verse. "But," means that there is something different for those who believe in God and those who love Him. Because of God's great love for us, we can enter His house and have a great love for Him. We are being told:
Develop a deep, personal relationship with Jesus. Don't just love the gifts - love the Giver! Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart, soul, and mind.
Because of the way God loves us (with steadfast love) we can enter His presence. We don't enter His presence because we are so good, but because His love for us is so deep and we can love Him back as a result. Our love for Him is based upon His love for us.
