Rather, we should worship out of thanks for all that He has done for us. Sincere worship will bring a sense of God s presence. This is what we hope for with our worship, to draw close to God and feel His active presence. Experiencing His presence is versus just knowing He is there is like the difference between writing a friend a letter and actually having the friend in our home. It s all the difference in the world.
Worship is commanded but it is also our pleasure.
Organized worship includes confession of sin, praise and thanksgiving, music and song and the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord. We please God with our sincere worship and we benefit by His blessings and His presence. We certainly can worship Him at home, privately, but corporate worship knits us together as the family of God. It s an experience we should welcome. Christians are to worship God but many don't know what that means.
