WORSHIP: GIVING YOURSELF TO GOD
"Worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins."
Heb 10:2 NKJV NKJV). Note the words
WORSHIP: GIVING YOURSELF TO GOD
To become a worshiper in the fullest sense requires two things. First, an understanding that God's love toward you is not predicted on your love toward Him. The moment you accept Christ as your Savior, God accepts you and clothes you in the righteousness of Christ; therefore, you are always worthy to approach Him. Second, understanding that God's love for you is not merely a theological concept, but something that is embraced with your heart and responded to through your emotions. In the act of worship, you "let yourself go," giving yourself without reservation and abandoning yourself to Him. "Worshipers, once purified, would have no consciousness of sins." When you believe that the blood of Jesus has cleansed you from all sins--past, present, and future--you become a worshiper unraptured with His love. Sinful patterns are changed, and stubborn patterns are broken when you get your eyes off yourself and focus on Christ. Paul writes, "Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" (Eph: 5:18-19 NKJV). Note the words "in your hearts to the Lord." The psalmist David writes, "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusts in Him" (Ps 34:8 NKJV). Note the word "taste." Picture yourself sitting down to your favorite meal, tasting each bite and savoring each flavor. The truth of God's love for you must not just remain in your mind; it must be experienced in your heart. When that happens, you are truly worshiping God.
