This article is the first in a two-part series. Human beings are instinctively worshipping creatures. Men are going to worship something or someone.
Worship is a dominant theme in the Bible.
The concept is represented by several terms in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the Greek New Testament. Basically, worship involves a deep sense of religious awe that expresses itself in ritualistic acts of devotion and service. Some people see no relationship between the existence of God and the need to worship. This deistic philosophy views the Creator almost as an abstraction. This concept, of course, ignores the fact that the Lord has commanded human beings to worship Him.
