How do we know faith is important in worship?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is crucial in worship because it enables sincere engagement with God, which is essential for true worship, as indicated in Hebrews 11:6.

The significance of faith in worship is underscored by the example of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:25-28. Her act of worship was rooted in her faith that Jesus could help her. Worship without faith is described in Hebrews 11:6 as impossible to please God, evidencing that a genuine relationship with Him requires belief in His character and promises. Additionally, the Pharisees’ worship was condemned for being merely outward and not stemming from a true heart of faith (Matthew 15:7-9). This indicates that our worship must be sincere and based on faith in God's truth and goodness, which ultimately honors Him and aligns with His desire for true worshipers.
