How do we discern true worship according to Malachi?

Answered in 1 source

True worship, as per Malachi, is characterized by sincerity in returning to God's ordinances and recognizing Christ.

In Malachi, true worship is depicted as a return to God's ordinances, where the people are called to recognize and repent from their imbalances in worship practices. Malachi 3:7 indicates, 'Return unto me, and I will return unto you.' This exchange emphasizes that worship must be centered around God’s requirements and recognition of Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of those ordinances. It illustrates that genuine worship cannot merely be an external act but must stem from a heart transformed and directed by grace. Therefore, true worship involves discerning the righteousness of God and bringing offerings of a changed heart that aligns with His character and covenant of grace.
