Christians should respond to God's victories with acts of worship and thanksgiving.
The appropriate response for Christians to the victories God accomplishes in our lives is to engage in worship and thanksgiving. Just as Israel built an altar after their victory over Ai to honor God's faithfulness, we too are called to publicly recognize and celebrate God's works in our lives. Worship, as described in the sermon, is not about gaining something from God but rather about offering thanks for what He has already provided. This form of worship is best articulated in Hebrews 13:15, where we are instructed to continually offer a sacrifice of praise. This reflects a heart filled with gratitude and recognition of God's grace, similar to the Israelites standing on the banks of the Jordan, acknowledging God’s deliverance.
