How do we know reverence for God is important?

Reverence is integral to the Christian experience, as it honors God's transcendent nature and our position as His creation. Tozer highlights the danger of a 'synthetic God' created by human sentimentality, which lacks the awe that should accompany our approach to the divine. The reverence we cultivate in worship impacts our spiritual health, urging us to seek genuine connection with the Holy One. Romans 12:1 calls us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, emphasizing the seriousness and dedication with which we should engage in our faith, fostering a deeper reverence and adoration for God.
