A couple of mornings ago I was reading Psalm 15. King David asks the question, "Lord, who may live in your tent, and who maydwell on your holy hill?" In other words, who can live in close fellowship with God, and who can live in Heaven with Him? He then lists qualities that are acceptable to God:
A walk of integrity & honor- v.2
acts of righteousness- v.2
truthful speech- v.2
doesn't bad mouth others- v.3
doesn't do harm to others- v.3
doesn't pick up and hold a grudge against a friend- v.3
despises perverts- v.4
respects & looks up to those who follow the Lord- v.4
keeps his word, even if it hurts- v.4
doesn't lend to others with interest- v.5
doesn't take bribes against others- v.5

This sounds like a good creed to live by. If more of us lived by these, we would make a greater difference in the world.
