Worship Matters

What is worship? What does it mean to worship God? Why do we do it? What happens when we worship God? The answers to these questions matter because they reveal our understanding of God Himself and His revelation of Himself. Worship matters supremely because God is supremely to be worshipped. What we think about God and worship matters.

We become like what we worship. Worship shapes us. Worship matters because we are born worshippers and we will worship someone or something. We will either give honor and glory to our Creator, God Almighty or we will give it to something in His creation.

If we are to respond properly to God we must, this side of the Fall and the Cross, come to God through Jesus Christ and be reconciled to Him, regenerated, born again to a living hope, new creations, new worshippers living by faith. No longer living for ourselves but for Him who died and rose again on our behalf (2 Cor. 5:14-15).

"Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised" Psalm 48:1
