Back to the Bible Worship

The English word “worship” is from the idea of “worth” or “worthy” ship.

Worship is our showing how much God is “worth” to us.

God made us for companionship with Himself.

God seeks our worship, just as we want to be with our children.

As a parent enjoys talking with his children, God delights to hear our prayers.

Just as God would not accept Cain’s incorrect worship, neither will he accept ours.

Just because our worship is culturally accepted, does not mean that Gpd accepts it.

To successfully worship God, it must be what pleases Him not what pleases us.

Teaching doctrines which come from men results in worshipping men but not God.

If we live/worship disobediently, then our prayers are even detestable to God.

Incorrect worship so insults God that God once even consumed two priest by fire.

To take part with those who do not remain in the teaching of Christ is to also take part in their evil deeds.

The prayer of the disobedient (in worship or daily life), God intensely rejects.

God delights & seeks for those who worship Him both correctly & from the heart.

Obedient worship includes both the Spirit (heart) and from the truth (correctly).

New Testament examples of worship is the only way to be sure that the LORD is pleased with our worship.

Christians are commanded not to forsake the assembling.

They gathered regularly on the 1st day (Sunday) to participate in the Lord’s Supper.

At the assembly, we receive and give needed encouragement lest we be hardened in sin.

A special remembrance of the Lord’s death through the Lord’s supper revives our spiritual commitment lest we become spiritually weak or dead.

If improperly participating in the Lord’s supper brings judgement upon ourselves, how much more when we do not participate at all?

As the lepers, the more so when one fails to show thankfulness for cleansing sins.

God’s wrath will be revealed (Romans 1:18, 21, 24) for those who live unthankfully.
