True worship is emotional, stirring and motivating, and based upon the truth. Since we are sensual creatures, the doctrine of creation and the essential goodness of created reality has ramifications for our understanding of the worshiping community. The garments to be worn by the Aaronic priests were carefully crafted and very beautiful. Remember, it was God who gave these explicit instructions. Thus, the appreciation of beauty and symbol are part of worship.
Biblical symbols have meaning that point to spiritual realities beyond themselves.
Colors, sounds, sights and smell are all useful to enhance our appreciation of the God of Creation, as we worship his splendor in the beauty of his holiness. The doctrine of creation, along with the emphasis of the corporate solidarity of the people of God, flies directly in the face of an emphasis on individual experience. A third theme that links the church as the worshiping community to the doctrine of redemption is the fall of Adam, and the resulting enmity between God and sinful men and women. Since we are no longer granted the privilege of walking with God in the garden in the cool of the day, we do not deserve to be allowed to worship. Instead, we deserve to be sent to hell because of our sin and our participation in Adam's rebellion.
