This is used of Greek gods and signifies lofty, majestic, exalted positions which demand a certain response. Respect for God should be equal. Again it is clear that the important words of worship drawn from the world of the Greeks and applied in a Christian context are not used in a ceremonial, liturgical way. None of the sebo words are used of the Christian assembly. These words help show the quality of a total Christian life.
Worship is related to all of life.
No worship word is used in the Greek NT to describe the activities of the Christian assembly. Service, fellowship, and discipleship play important roles in the disciple's plan for worship. The purpose of the local assembly of Christian is to strengthen and equip individuals for lives which are consistent with and which reflect God's nature. Christians worship because it is the natural thing to do. Last updated March 21, 2001.
