The Bible emphasizes that our praise is accepted by God only through Jesus, who glorifies the Father on our behalf.
The act of praising God is intricately tied to our relationship with Jesus Christ, who sanctifies us and allows our praise to be presented perfectly to God. In Psalm 145:1-3, David expresses a commitment to extol God forever, declaring His greatness. It's important to understand that Christ’s work includes leading us to glorify God, enabling us to call Him our God personally. Our praise stems from recognizing His majesty and works, and it’s through Christ that this praise becomes pleasing to the Father, revealing the needed preeminence of Christ in our worship.
