True worship is experienced through heartfelt adoration of God, centered on Christ, and expressed in obedience to His word.
Experiencing true worship is deeply rooted in understanding who God is and responding appropriately to His character and works. In Christ, we find the fulfillment of our deepest longings and the object of our adoration. To engage in genuine worship involves not just external actions, but a sincere heart that desires to bless and honor God. This is reflected in our lives as we obey His commands, gather with fellow believers, and partake in the ordinances He has instituted. The Psalmist emphasizes coming into God’s presence with joyful expectation, which connects to the assurance that He meets with His people when they come in faith. The promise that where two or three are gathered in His name, there He is, reinforces this dynamic of collective worship as well.
