He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;
God made His covenant with Abraham on one condition: that he live holy and upright. Many crowd the temple speaking the same religion outwardly, but hypocrites gain nothing by self-delusion. God remains Himself, faithful and unchanging; He acknowledges none as His people but those who pursue justice and uprightness throughout their whole life.

Commenting on Psalm 15:1-5
Walk, work, and word mark the man accepted by God. True believers don't cringe or wriggle but stand erect by grace within. Walking matters far more than talking; if you're not positively serving the Lord and doing His will with power, you're a fruitless tree fit only for the fire.

Who shall dwell in God's tabernacle? Not by name alone, nor by Abraham's blood, but by what your heart and life actually are. Birth and blood entitle no one; God Himself must set the terms and tell who are truly His. This is the greatest privilege and distinguishing favor, ask yourself daily what you must be to obtain it.
