Psalms 100:1-2 (ESV)
His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
A PSALM FOR GIVING THANKS.
1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
If He is with us, how do we come into His presence? Consider Adam in the garden of Eden. He lived in the presence of the Lord, but he was a separate person. The Holy Spirit had no part in the events that led to the fall. It was later that the Lord was walking in the garden and began calling Adam who tried to hide. His spirit died to the Lord when he disobeyed the given commandment and was no longer present, or alive to the Lord Spirit to spirit.
We have been made alive to the Lord, and in that sense have entered the garden of His presence. When we call on His name, He answers us Spirit to spirit. Let us do so with a thankful heart that sings of His love forever.
