How do we know God requires proper worship?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture asserts that worship must be conducted according to God's established order and commands.

God explicitly dictates how He should be worshiped throughout the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament where detailed regulations for worship are provided. For example, God commanded Moses to build the tabernacle 'according to the pattern' He showed him (Exodus 25:40). The incident with Uzzah in 2 Samuel 6 serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of deviating from God's worship standards. Despite David's good intentions, his disregard for divine protocols led to Uzzah's death, demonstrating that sincerity without adherence to God's commands is unacceptable. Thus, genuine worship must always align with the parameters set forth in Scripture.
