Why is grace emphasized in worship?

Grace is central to worship because it is through grace that we, as sinful beings, are enabled to enter into the presence of a holy God. Our approach to worship should be one of humility and recognition of the grace that has been extended to us through Christ. As highlighted in the sermon, God's election of grace allows a remnant to worship the King, the Lord of hosts. Without understanding and experiencing grace, worship may become mere ritual or cultural practice devoid of sincerity. Thus, the acknowledgment of grace affirms our dependence on God for the ability to worship Him authentically, as true worshippers of the one true God.
