What does the Bible say about Worship?
Worship is the expression of adoration and reverence for God. It’s not merely singing and raising your hands during praise and worship before the sermon on Sunday. Paul describes true worship as offering our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1 NIV).
In the Gospel of John, Jesus said to the woman at the well, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24 KJV).
Every moment, day and night, and everything with us is to be an act of worship to God. Worship is so much more than singing praise to our Father, it’s a continual offering of obedience, prayer, fasting, giving and service to our God.
