You are a worshipper. It is not a question of whether or not you will worship, but a question of who or what you will worship. There are many who choose to worship idols. Others pay homage to leaders of false religions or worship creation. And some, like you, will choose to worship the true God, the purpose for which mankind was created. This study is based on the Holy Bible, the written Word of the one true God, which reveals that all of creation has been called to worship. The angels (Hebrews1:6); the nations (Psalm 86:9); the elements (Psalm 96:11); and God’s people (Psalm 67:3). The Holy Bible proclaims that worship of the one true God is your first priority. Jesus declared: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. (Matthew 22:37-38) Jesus further clarified: Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Luke 4:8) As a Believer, you are chosen to demonstrate God’s praise, glory, and grace: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (Ephesians 1:4-6) Worship is your spiritual birthright. You are part of a royal priesthood of worshippers which includes all true born-again believers in Jesus Christ: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9) To function in this ministry requires more than observing the worship experience of others. It requires more than learning the doctrine of worship... “Unfortunately, experiences cannot be transmitted genetically, nor can they be transferred historically. It takes similar personal encounters with God to produce like worship responses and all too frequently it is the doctrine rather than the experience that is passed on to succeeding generations.” Judson Cornwall
