The Bible emphasizes wholeheartedly praising God, as seen in Psalm 138, where worship is an expression of one's entire being.
The Bible calls for worship that comes from the heart, as reflected in Psalm 138:1 where David declares, 'I will praise thee with my whole heart.' This concept signifies that true worship is not merely an outward expression but should engage the believer's entire being—mind, will, and affections. Believers are encouraged to worship God not half-heartedly, which He deems worthless, but with sincere and total commitment to the one who has redeemed them by His grace. This is a reflection of the new heart given to them at regeneration, enabling them to truly believe and worship God in spirit and truth.
