Notice it says His foundation is in the holy mountains, not all mountains. God's foundation is always holy and just. He is holy. He is perfect in every way. There is nothing that we can ever find fault with God over. Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He is the very Son of God that came to die for the sins of all mankind. He never broke the law of God in one instance. That is why Jesus Christ makes the perfect sacrificial lamb to pay the price for sins.

The just suffered for the unjust. The righteous one suffered for the unrighteous. He is holy and good. He is perfect in every way just as God His father is. God becomes the father of all who believe in His Son Jesus Christ. Those who continue in sin and reject Jesus Christ are really the children of the wicked one, even Satan. God is not the father of anyone who rejects His Son.  If there had been another way to save mankind, Jesus would not have had to die on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. 

What the Lord loves is a righteous nation that Israel will become. These things are sometimes written as a prophecy of the future. We see now the nation of Israel back in their homeland after being scattered for centuries. In 1948 after World War 2, Israel returned home to become a nation again. They have not yet returned to God because they reject Jesus Christ their Messiah. When they return to Christ, they will again be a place God will call righteous and glorious.

Jerusalem will one day again be the city of God. 

Jesus Christ came to us from Heaven but born in the flesh. He came to the earth as a baby and grew to manhood. He then preached the gospel or good news that He came to save the world from sin. He then was put to death willingly to pay the price for sin. His death counts on behalf of all who believe in Him.

To believe in someone does not mean just to believe He once existed. That is not faith and is not the kind of belief that saves the lost soul. To believe on Jesus Christ means to believe in His sacrifice and accept His sacrifice for yourself. We must realize we are sinners in need of salvation and then believe in Jesus to give us His salvation. We then are born again by the Spirit of God and will inherit eternal life.

The eternal life we inherit will be a place where death shall no longer reign. All fear of death will be gone and everlasting life will prevail. In order to accomplish this, sin has to be done away with first. Sin cannot enter the new kingdom of God. That is why Jesus had to come first to make the way of salvation known to us. He is the way, the truth and the life. No man or woman comes to the Father but through faith in Jesus Christ.

This is something to sing about and play instruments in worship and praise to God who brought us out of eternal death unto eternal life. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin enabling us to enter into the kingdom of God.

We don't have to wait until that day. The kingdom of God is within the person that has faith in Jesus Christ. We can have Him in our innermost being now. Now is the time to accept His great salvation.
