What is true worship?

True worship is worship that respects God's commandments. We must worship God "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). It seems as if people today are content to throw worship at God in hopes that He will accept anything that man devises. This is not the case.

True worship is simple. It includes prayer, singing without instrumental music, Bible study, contributing to the treasury of the local church, and partaking of the Lord's supper. All of these elements can be seen in Acts 2:41-47 after the first church was established on the day of Pentecost.

Worship is the feeling or expression of reverence or adoration for deity. If we worship God, then that worship must be according to His terms, for He is God. Our only purpose is to please Him, for that was the ultimate goal of Jesus Himself (John 8:29).
