GIVING
Biblical worship, simply defined, is the believer’s heart-response and life-pursuit to all that God has graciously revealed through His Word and by His Son. Life is all about the worship of God! The ultimate priority and necessity in life is to be a worshipper of God. Worship is ultimately why man was created; that is why the redeemed are being saved, and that is why we continue to exist on earth; and worship will be our ultimate passion in Heaven (Ps 29:1-2; 95:5-6; 150:6; 1 Mt 4:10; Jn 4:23; 1 Cor 10:31; Heb 12:28-29; Rev 14:7; 15:4; 22:1-5). Every human being is a worshipper of something or someone because we were created to worship. Adam and Eve were ultimately created to worship God as they subdued the earth, serving as God’s viceroys over creation (Gen 1:26-30; 2:2:15-25; Ps 8). Yet the allegiance and veracity of their worship changed when they elevated themselves over God and, in so doing, worshipped Satan (Gen 3:1-6; 2 Tim 2:25). They brought sin, destruction, false worship, and ultimately death upon the globe (Gen 3:7-24; Rom 5:12-21; 8:20-23).
