King David asked the fundamental question at the beginning of this psalm: "... who may dwell in your sanctuary?". I believe he was talking about the after-death -- of who is worthy to live in God's presence in heaven after experiencing death.
God's response to the question is in verses 2 to 5. One must be blameless, do what is deemed righteous, speaks the truth from his heart, etc.. God has laid before us a high standard of values which is impossible to attain. But God's mercy and grace is for those who believe in Jesus Christ, that through Him, we can truly seek God's forgiveness and to walk a life of humility and fear of the Lord.
Lord, let me not forget Your Words in Psalm 15 which opens up the door to Your dwelling place. May You constantly remind me of the fear of the Lord and to walk in obedience to You. In Jesus' name I pray and give thanks, amen.
