These are originally stated in the Old Testament and then reiterated by Jesus and the early church. For example, James 1:27 states, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”įurthermore, a true mark of worship is shown in the fulfillment of the first and second commandments. Yet, there are even greater depths that can be reached with the Lord and with others, when we identify and live out the other aspects of worship.
There are great benefits and beauty to this style of worship. This is, in fact, a large part of Christian worship. Often times, congregated worship involving music and singing is what comes to mind for Christian worship. There are, however, places, times, and occasions that worship is expressed in various ways, both individually and collectively. Rather, worship is a holistic approach to life. We see this expressed in 1 Corinthians 10:31 when the apostle Paul commands the believers, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Therefore, worship isn’t confined to a specific place or time. Whether they are eating, sleeping, working, or taking part in any activity, all should be done for the glory of God. How Christians WorshipĬhristain worship encompasses the entirety of a Christian’s life. Christian worship includes music, singing, prayer, helping others, generous living and many other avenues. Additionally, they worship with a pure and willing heart.
They worship with their entire lives, in all that they do. How do Christians worship? Christians worship both individually and collectively.
In this blog, I have answered some of the most common questions that I have been asked, as well as the questions I have asked myself. I am continually growing in what it means to live a personal life of worship, in addition to serving as a worship leader. As a Christian myself, I have been involved in many aspects of worship. Christain worship is wide-spread, but not an entirely complex concept.
