How do we know that worship should focus on God rather than ourselves?

Answered in 1 source

Worship is about recognizing God's holiness, which leads to humility and the recognition of our own unworthiness.

Abraham's response during the sacrifice of Isaac showcases the shift from 'Here I am' to 'Here am I,' indicating a heart change from self-sufficiency to total surrender before God. True worship does not exalt the worshiper or create a scene; instead, it directs focus to the holiness of God. In the presence of God, figures like Job and Isaiah express their humility, recognizing their unworthiness, aligning with the understanding that seeing God leads us to deny ourselves. This acknowledgment is essential for biblical worship; the real secret to worship is seeing self as nothing before the greatness of God.
