How do we know that being filled with the Spirit is necessary for worship?

Answered in 1 source

The necessity of being filled with the Spirit for worship is illustrated in Ephesians 5:18-20, highlighting its role in empowering believers to sing and express gratitude.

The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 5:18-20, explicitly points out the distinction between mere existence as a believer and the empowering action of being filled with the Holy Spirit. This filling is necessary to accomplish God’s will and is not something believers can produce by their own efforts. Rather, it is God’s action upon His people that enables true worship. When filled with the Spirit, believers are equipped to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with genuine joy and thankfulness, reflecting their relationship with God. The profound connection between the Spirit’s filling and authentic worship is further demonstrated during significant events in Scripture, such as Pentecost, where the empowerment of the Spirit led to a powerful testimony and worship among believers.
