Why is understanding redemption important for worship?

Understanding our redemption in Christ is foundational to true worship. When we grasp the full extent of our salvation—from our bondage to sin to our freedom in Christ—we are moved to genuine worship. As mentioned in the sermon, 'true worship does not happen until we understand our full salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.' Our salvation through Christ's sacrifice enables us to approach God with assurance, allowing us to truly offer our worship, knowing that we have been redeemed from the curse of the law and the power of sin. Hence, worship flows from a heart that acknowledges and is filled with the joy of salvation.
