• Worship is extravagant respect, admiration, and devotion to God.
• Worship is responding to all that God is with all that I am.
Biblical definition:
Genesis 22:1-14 Abraham was so enamored with God, so close in relationship with Him that he responded every time God came calling. We see Abraham's purpose and devotion in worship because of his preparation and faith he practiced when God asked him to sacrifice his only son.
Exodus 10:3 "Let my people go so that they may worship me." God's desire was to free a nation from slavery so that they might worship Him. Before we enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we are enslaved to our sins, but Jesus has set us free; primarily to worship Him. The first commandment reminds us of this: "You shall have no other God's before me."
"God meant for a new convert to be a worshiper first. After that he can become a worker." A.W. Tozer
Romans 12:1 Our lives, as a whole, are intended to be an act of worship. In view of all that Christ has done for on our behalf, to worship, yielding our whole life, moment by moment, is the only logical thing left to do.
"To come into the presence of God and kneel before Him one hour takes all the strength we possess." Watchman Nee
