THE ESSENCE OF WORSHIP!

in #steemchurch7 years ago (edited)

The embodiment of worship is spiritual reality. Exhibit your bodies, brothers and sisters, "which is your
Spiritual worship," or your reasonable administration.
Paul says that living sacrificially for the Lord's purpose, for the expansion of his kingdom, for the benefit of other individuals, is the main reason , insightful, astute approach to live.

The spiritual worship of showing our bodies to God as instruments of righteousness implies that the greater part of our bodies are influenced physically;

  • Our feet walk reliably in his ways. Our mouths come clean, discussing the life-changing good news of Jesus Christ.
  • Our hands play out an assortment of errands in serving people: cooking, cleaning, driving, repairing, writing.
  • Our arms grasp hurting individuals who are in need of love, for Jesus' sake.
  • Our ears listen to the anguish of hurting individuals.
  • Our eyes center around the merciful, loving God who is changing us, and can affect the lives of individuals we cherish.

None of this action is driven by religious obligation or worry about religious appearances. Since it is controlled and coordinated by God's Holy Spirit, according to the missionary Paul keeping in touch with the Colossians when he says that

"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,"
Colossians 3:23

In Romans 12:1
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.'
This verse makes critical inquiries:

  • Do I put myself availaible to God at his disposal? His adoring want is to control the greater part of my life constantly.
  • Do I keep down as far as my energy, my material assets, or my time?
  • Am I just presenting a piece of myself to him on a reliable premise?

As a general rule, his sacrificial love appeals to us to be sold out to him, and if we keep down on the sacrifice of ourselves, at that point we are constrained in our effectiveness as an instrument of righteousness. That is the purpose of 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

If we claim to be Christians we don't have belong to ourselves however but to Jesus. He requests that we give him back what is legitimately his.
What is pleasing to God is a life which is absolutely his, a life that is mixed with the life of his Son, the Lord Jesus. We are worthy through the cross of Jesus Christ. We are not perfected yet, but rather we are all the while. In all actuality we have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and in spite of the fact that we are not yet perfect it doesn't make us any less pleasing to the Lord. We are in a magnificent, continuous procedure of sanctification, being changed by the Holy Spirit.

In Hebrews 13:21
"equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

God calls us to introduce ourselves to him, yet he says "I will take you, I will prepare you, I will prepare you, I will make you absolutely sufficient to experience the kind of life I want you to live. I am focused on doing that." He is as of now at work achieving what is pleasing in his sight. We are worthy to him at this moment, and he will keep on working in us as we respect him on a continuous premise.

The goal of our life of worship
"What is the goal of carrying on with this lifestyle of worship?" The goal is moral and ethical change.
Try not to be conformed to this world however be changed by the renewal of your brain, that you may demonstrate what is the will of God, what is great and satisfactory and perfect.

God's arrangement for us to live as change agents in this world is a decent one. We are to live as lights, living worshipfully, sacrificially, for the benefit of those around us. All the while, God transforms us, develops us, and changes us. He makes us progressively entire individuals,
individuals who are ethically integrated.

Thanks @steemchurch am glad i could contribute to the word of God!

Very informative one from you. I have been reading quite a number of posts on worship lately. Seems there is a need for many of us to improve our worship patterns. I would suggest you use blockquotes when quoting many scriptures, it makes your writeup looks more organised that way.

Praise and Worship moves God to perform more astonishing miracles in our lives, it is our duty as christians to Worship God fervently.

Lets make our duty more efficient, tnks!

Worshipping God is another way of appreciating him in what has being done in your life and also thanking him, worshipping God can also be in form of prayer and it may be seen as an easy way to pray... it can be done in any form even in songs, poetry, spoken words or even speech or characters you exhibit to one another.

WORSHIP AS A WAY OF APPRECIATING GOD

When we worship him we tend to attract his blessings because true worship of God is the desire to continue to build up our knowledge of God.

Living sacrificially for God and others is an insightful astute aproach to living

Romans 12 verse 1

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.'

Worship changes us morally ans ethically, the benefit of worship God can't be over emphasized.

Worshipping is living sacrificially in the way of the Lord.

A Blessed Sunday To You.
