How do we know that true worship involves specific belief?

The act of worship is deeply rooted in a specific understanding of who God is. In Genesis 46:1-4, Jacob's first act after receiving Pharaoh's command was to worship God at Beersheba. This worship was directed to the God of his fathers, which signifies a particular and exclusive covenant relationship. Likewise, in the New Testament, Peter refers to Jesus explicitly, indicating that true worship arises from recognizing Christ as our substitute and satisfaction before God. Thus, true worship is specific and cannot be generic; it must be directed to the God revealed in Scripture, encompassing the fullness of who Jesus Christ is.
