Episode 22: Who Gets To Go To Heaven - Psalm 15:1-5

Jun 5, 2026    Brandon Alvillar

How does God define the qualifications for entering heaven? In this episode of Refuge & Strength, previously known as Getting To Know God, Brandon (Pastor b.Side) takes a deep dive into Psalm 15 to examine one of the most important questions a person can ask: Who gets to dwell in the presence of God?


Looking directly at the Scriptures, we explore David’s question to the LORD and God’s answer concerning the character and conduct required to abide in His holy presence. As Psalm 15 unfolds, it reveals a standard of righteousness that no human being can achieve through personal effort, religious tradition, or self-made morality.


This study examines God's holiness, the purpose of the tabernacle, the significance of Mount Zion, and the seven characteristics that describe those who will dwell with Him forever. Along the way, we discover why human nature falls short of God's perfect standard and why supernatural intervention is absolutely necessary for salvation.


Most importantly, this episode highlights the Gospel truth that entrance into God's kingdom is not accomplished by human achievement, but by the transforming work of God Himself in Jesus Christ. If you've ever wondered what the Bible really teaches about heaven, salvation, and the righteousness God requires, this study offers a clear and compelling answer straight from God's Word.
