Worshiping God is a privilege because it allows believers to approach Him boldly through Christ, receiving His blessings.
The act of worship itself is a profound privilege conferred upon believers through Jesus Christ. Psalm 134 encapsulates this by highlighting that we are called to bless the Lord, acknowledging His greatness and glory. This is not a mere obligation but a divine privilege, because God, who created heaven and earth, invites His people into His presence. The New Covenant establishes that every believer is made a priest, granting them direct access to God. Moreover, as we worship, we are promised His blessings, as seen in His promise to bless Zion. The assurance of God meeting with His people, bestowing His grace and mercy upon them, reinforces the idea that worship is a gift to be cherished.
