Worship is a service offered to God not only in terms of temple worship but of service to one's fellows. In order to offer this 'worship' to God his servants must prostrate themselves and thus manifest reverential fear and adoring awe and wonder. Worship is the direct acknowledgment to God, of his nature, attributes, ways and claims, whether by the outgoing of the heart in praise and thanksgiving or by deed done in such acknowledgment. Worship is man's recognition of the 'worthship' of God. It is man's attempt to give to the Lord the glory due to him as creator and redeemer.
Worship is an obligation, an activity and a response.
The God, the One revealed in the Word, made known and accessible to us in Jesus Christ and witnessed in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. In real worship, we carry on an exchange of love with the God who is present, the God who speaks to us in the now, who has done and is doing marvellous things. As we walk through the Bible you will discover that the concept of the presence of God is so prevalent that it can be considered a unifying theme in Scripture.
