How do we know that worshiping God is not about our works?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that worship is centered on Christ's sacrifice and not on our own efforts or merits.

Worshiping God is not about our works but rather about God's grace as manifested in Christ's sacrifice. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states that we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. This principle applies to our worship as well; we do not bring our works as offerings but trust in the completed work of Christ alone. Hebrews 10:12 reinforces this by declaring that Christ's one sacrifice perfected those who are sanctified. Therefore, true worship flows from our understanding of God's sovereign grace rather than any effort on our part to earn favor with Him.
