The Bible emphasizes that worship is integral to the Christian life, centered on humility, prayer, and the preaching of the Word.
Worship is a significant aspect of the Christian experience, as highlighted in various scriptures. Christians gather on the Lord's day not as a commandment of the old covenant, but as an opportunity to worship Christ, who is our Sabbath rest (Hebrews 4:9-10). This gathering involves preparing our hearts, minds, and bodies for heartfelt participation in worship, which includes prayer, singing, and attentive listening to God’s Word. Spurgeon encouraged believers to engage their hearts continually in worship, recognizing the importance of corporate fellowship and edification in Christ's teachings.
