P. 29
Anita’s Comments
(Psalm 15 & 16)
Psalm 15 is a description of Christ-like
character. David sets some high standards
that will distinguish those who will dwell in
God’s “holy hill,” which is a reference to
Heaven. In his commentary on verse 1,
Charles Spurgeon says, “The first verse
(Psalm 15:1) asks the question; the rest of
the verses (Psalm 15:2-5) answer it.”
Although a believer is saved by faith alone in
the sacrifice of Christ as an atonement for
the penalty of his or her sins (Hell), that faith
begins with conviction of sin and repentance
initiated by God’s Holy Spirit and the
subsequent indwelling of God’s Spirit, which
will be evidenced by a changed life that
progresses toward Christ-likeness. Philippians
