How do we know that God is truly present in our worship?

The presence of God in our worship is grounded in the promise that where two or three are gathered in Christ's name, He is in their midst (Matthew 18:20). This is evidenced as the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, reveals Christ's righteousness, and enables true worship from the heart. When we genuinely encounter God, it results in a refreshed view of the gospel, making our worship vibrant and alive. The transformative work of the Spirit gives us new songs and a living experience with Christ, which is far from mere emotionalism or intellectualism.
