Worship always conveys the idea of giving something to God. The act of worship ascribes to God that He is worthy of our adoration, He is worth our devotion, and He is the delight and desire of our hearts.
Although we may offer worship as a group, for us to have participated in true worship: we each must have given something to God. In the Old Testament God told His people not to come before Him āempty-handedā.
Modern worship often centers on a feeling that worshippers hope to get, instead of an offering that only true worshippers can give. So whenever we talk about Biblical worship, the first lesson is that worship can only be something we GIVE to God.
Much of the modern confusion in the church is about the preoccupation by many upon what they want to get from God rather than upon what they are to give to God.
The essence of worship is selfless giving: first we give ourselves as His servants, then we give our adoration as sacrifices to God, then we give of our possessions as gifts to God. Biblical worship is a way of life, serving our King.
There is no subject more important to us as Godās servants than worship.
Worship of the True God is the mark of true believers.
Those who live forever are those who have responded to the Gospel. Those who respond to the Gospel become true worshippers of their true God and King.
Revelation gives us what can only be called:
A Theology of How to Truly
Worship the King of Heaven
