5 For you are not a God
who takes pleasure in wickedness;
evil cannot remain with you.
6 Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes,
you hate all who do evil,
7 you destroy those who tell lies,
Adonai detests men of blood and deceivers.
8 But I can enter your house
because of your great grace and love;
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in reverence for you.

- Psalm 5:5-8 CJB
Who is the true and living GOD? What is HE like? We can understand HIS character and being only when we take time to know HIM by reading HIS word. King David knew GOD, and in HIS Psalm HE describes GOD who is a righteous GOD, who is not pleased with evil. HE is a GOD who hates the proud and will do away with those who do evil. HE will not let the wicked go unpunished, in fact HE will do away with men who tell lies, men who murder, and who is full of deceit. It is a wonderful thing to know that there is a GOD who watches over good and evil, rich and poor and executes judgement on everyone according to the motive of their hearts and render justice.
Do you know this GOD? This GOD of the Bible? Yes, there are many gods in the world, many books of religion that tell about their god. But there is only one GOD that is true and alive. Only one GOD whose love for humanity is so great, it is a sin to ignore HIS love and reject His offer of salvation. If you know this GOD, then you are one who can enter HIS house because you understand and have experienced HIS love and grace. There is no lack in life with someone who knows and loves GOD. He can worship GOD in His holy temple and have the greatest joy and fulfillment just by doing so...
