The Reason We Worship (Part 3)

Because God is the object of our worship, He and He alone has the right to determine how we are to worship Him. 

Jeremiah 10:23 "O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps."

We are not granted the option of directing our own ways in Christianity.  God is the One who we look to for guidance and direction in our lives. Our very best in worship is due God and is prescribed by Him in the Bible.  The worship God has prescribed is the only way we can be pleasing to Him in this life and finally attain everlasting life with Him in eternity.  The Christian’s worship is of the greatest importance. It is not dependent on a fast or slow song, a certain emotion, or even the name on a church sign. It cannot be mediocre, but must be the very best that we can give to Him.

 

Worship is a time when we pay deep, sincere, respect, love, and fear to the one who created us. 

Acts 17:24, 25 "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things..."

 God is the one who holds our eternal destiny in His hands. 

Philippians 2:12 tells us to, "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."  Our salvation is a very serious matter and will not happen by accident.  We must work it out "with fear and trembling".  Our salvation is verified by whether our worship is pleasing to God or not.  On the Day of Judgment it will be too late to make any corrections.
