What does the Bible say about going to the house of God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns us to be cautious when approaching the house of God, emphasizing the importance of listening and not offering thoughtless sacrifices.

Ecclesiastes 5 cautions us to 'keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God' and to be 'more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools.' This reminds us that when we come to worship, we are to approach with reverence and a willingness to listen to God's Word. The very act of attending God's house should be focused on receiving the gospel rather than merely performing rituals. Solomon warns against the pitfalls of being hasty in our words and commitments, advising that it is better not to vow than to vow and not pay. This reflects the seriousness with which God regards our intentions and commitments.
