In Psalm 15:1, David ponders the question of who can get close to God. The answers come in the following verses. However, the characteristics that David mentions are not just what people can see (“external”), but are based on what is internal (what we are like when we think no one is watching). What are we like on the inside? If we need “fixing”/improvement, working on our character won’t help. We need to pursue God, Himself. By keeping our focus on God, He will work in you to bring about transformation.
