God has told us EXACTLY how He wants to be Worshipped.
That description of how God has told us He wants to be worshipped is the title of our study today: The Foundations of True Biblical Worship.
To understand this topic we need to ponder several individual concepts, the first one is:
What Kind of Worship
Does God Accept?
This question about worship is vital to every believer because:
• If our worship is not built upon the foundation that God has laid down: it is not Biblical.
• If our worship is not Biblical: it does not please God, nor does He accept that worship.
Think about that for a moment.
That means that any worship not offered the way that God has dictated is unacceptable worship.
That means that worship prompted by unsaved people is rejected; and any fleshly motivated, self-guided worship offered by un-surrendered believers is also rejected. Always remember the severity of Christ’s judgment upon the fleshly excesses of the Corinthians.
Worship acceptable to God is what we must think about as we offer our adoration, and honor to God. God spends so much time in His Word describing the clean hands and pure hearts that must deliver any worship that is given to Him.
