God Alone Get's The Glory

“You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” - Revelation 4:11

The object of their worship, the same with that which the ministers adored: Him that sat on the throne, the eternal ever-living God.

The true church of God has one and the same object of worship.

Two different objects of worship, either co-ordinate or sub-ordinate, would confound the worship and divide the worshipers.

It is unlawful to join in divine worship with those who either mistake or multiply the object.

There is but one God, and he alone, as God, is worshiped by the church on earth and in heaven.

The acts of adoration.

They fell down before him that sat on the throne, they discovered the most profound humility, reverence, and godly fear.

They cast their crowns before the throne they gave God the glory of the holiness wherewith he had crowned their souls on earth and the honour and happiness with which he crowns them in heaven.

They owe all their graces and all their glories to him, and acknowledge that his crown is infinitely more glorious than theirs, and that it is their glory to be glorifying God.

The words of adoration: they said, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honour, and power, Revelation 4:11.

Observe, They do not say, We give thee glory, and honour, and power for what can any creature pretend to give unto God?

But they say, thou art worthy to receive glory.

In this they tacitly acknowledge that God is exalted far above all blessing and praise.

He was worthy to receive glory, but they were not worthy to praise, nor able to do it according to his infinite excellences.

We have the ground and reason of their adoration, which is threefold:

He is the Creator of all things, the first cause; and none but the Creator of all things should be adored; no made thing can be the object of religious worship.

He is the preserver of all things, and his preservation is a continual creation; they are created still by the sustaining power of God.

All beings but God are dependent upon the will and power of God, and no dependent being must be set up as an object of religious worship.

It is the part of the best dependent beings to be worshipers, not to be worshiped.

He is the final cause of all things: For thy pleasure they are and were created.

It was his will and pleasure to create all things; he was not put upon it by the will of another; there is no such thing as a subordinate creator, that acts under and by the will and power of another; and, if there were, he ought not to be worshiped.

As God made all things at his pleasure, so he made them for his pleasure, to deal with them as he pleases and to glorify himself by them one way or other.

Though he delights not in the death of sinners, but rather that they should turn and live, yet he hath made all things for himself, Proverbs 16:4.

Now if these be true and sufficient grounds for religious worship, as they are proper to God alone, Christ must needs be God, one with the Father and Spirit, and be worshiped as such; for we find the same causality ascribed to him.

“All things were created by him and for him, and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” Colossians 1:16, Colossians 1:17

WORSHIPPING GOD IN SPIRIT - Worshipping God "in spirit" means with reverence, attentiveness, and having the right purpose of honoring God, while understanding what we are doing. Worship is a time of joy for us. It is a time of offering thanks, adoration, love, praying, singing praises to God, feeding on His word, and proclaiming Christ to the world in partaking of the Lord's Supper.

Worship In Spirit

Worshipping God In Spirit

By Ron Boatwright

Worshipping God "in spirit" means with reverence, attentiveness, and having the right purpose of honoring God, while understanding what we are doing.

Hebrews 12:28-29 says, "Let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire." 

Our worship must glorify God. 1 Corinthians 6:20 says, "For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."

In order to worship God in the right spirit, we must take time before worship to make ready our hearts and emotions so we will be in the proper frame of mind.

We should not have to rush or hurry to worship, arriving late but should always plan to be there early enough so we can be in a worshipful attitude and spirit. 

Our mind must be ready, attentive, and alert.

Concerning the Lord's Supper, we are warned in 1 Corinthians 11:27, "Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord." 

Our worship to God must be done in a worthy manner. It must be done in a manner that brings glory and honor to God and Christ.

Continuing to read in verse 29, "For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body." 

We should never be wishing the worship service would hurry up and be over so we can get to the restaurant early and not have to stand in line.

In fact we should be of the frame of mind that we are disappointed to see the worship service end.

In showing reverence and respect to God, we will not be indifferent, inattentive, and taking lightly that which should be considered serious.

Worship to God is holy. Our character in worship must also be holy.

In 1 Peter 1:16-17 we read, "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in your conduct, because it is written, Be holy for I am holy." 

Slouching over, sleeping, playing with babies, squirming, unnecessary talking, and passing notes all show disrespect in worshipping God.

Active participation will tend to get rid of our lack of interest and inattentiveness.

Reverence is not having a long face, folded hands, or a put on look of piety.

Worship is a time of joy for us.

It is a time of offering thanks, adoration, love, praying, singing praises to God, feeding on His word, and proclaiming Christ to the world in partaking of the Lord's Supper.
