What does Psalm 100:4 really mean about gratitude, praise, and justice?

[jennifer_bloom]

"Enter his gates with Thanksgiving and his courts with praise,"

What I get out of that is, you need appreciation and gratitude to become righteous, and you need secret worship and religious meditation to get justice from God.

[grace1255]

I think aswell it is about righteousness- it’s about acknowledging gods actions and the good things he has done for us as humans, and being thankful for that. It’s almost as if it is telling us that the only way to enter God and his presence, is gratitude; which involves almost admiring God and who he is. This is said to come in response of a mirrored life with love and fairness etc- just like we have with God.
