Why should we worship?
The word Worship comes from Worthship.
Has GOD commanded or demanded worship from us?
-GOD has never commanded us to worship. Till Gen3 we can never see GOD giving instructions for worship. In Ex 3:18 we see GOD telling to offer sacrifices.
So, does it mean that Worship started only afte SIN entered?
- No, worship existed even before sin entered! (Rev 4: 10 -11).
Adam and Eve also worshipped GOD. There is no difference between their being in GOD's presence and our being in GOD's presence. (Rom 12: 1-2).
Worship is a continuous process and our entire life should be a worship! Our entire life should centered around pleasing GOD! We do not need any special stimulants to bring about WORSHIP.

Worship
What is the general thinking about worship ?
Generally people are of a view that going to church is worship!
Dictionary Meaning Of Worship :
It is first a noun and then a verb.
1. reverent honour and homeage paid to GOD or a sacred personage or to any object regarded as sacred.(N).
2. To render reverence and homage to(V)
Worship was used as a noun till 1200AD. Now it is used as a verb such as givinf reverence to someone.
For believers worship is fellowship, giving honour, glory and reverence to our Saviour.
The first mention of the word worship in the bible is in Gen 22:5, where Abraham told the men to wait with the donkey, and he will go with Isaac to worship and return.
The scenario shows total giving. Acknowledging to the LORD that I am not holding anything back, but giving completely to GOD. Cain and Abel gave offerings to GOD which is also worship.
The most important part of worship is the object of worship and not the worshipper. Not how we are pleased but how we please GOD. God wants the best from us. We cannot hold back anything.
Worship is adoring GOD for who he is. There is no border for worship. Bible has no reference to what amounts to worship or specific days for worship.
Earlier times the disciples worshipped on the first day of the week Act 20:7, 1 Cor 16:2
Worship in itself does not have a time frame. It should encompass all aspects of our life.
Why do we worship ?
In everyday life, not in reference to GOD, unknowingly we worship something or somebody we are in awe of . Like a role model. Something/someone who brings joy or is extraordinary. The nature of worship is inbuilt in man. But the Bible says don't worship in vain. Mat 23:9
Why do we worship GOD ?
We worship GOD .......
1. To please him.
2. Because it is a commandment. Exo 20:3, Mat 4:10
3. Because we fear him.
4. Because we are his possession. He has bought us.
5. For who HE is
6. For his grace, mercy compassion and faithfulness.
7. In faith Mat 9:18, Mat 8:2
8. Because only HE can, He is, and He will.
9. We cannot worship anyone other than HIM. Ex 20: 3-4
Is Prayer and Worship the same?
Prayer is not the same as worship. Prayer is self centered and worship is GOD centered.
in prayer we ask from GOD, in worship we give praises and glory unto GOD.
Prayer is a subset of Worship.
Modes Of Worship (HOW) :
1. Humble Jam 4:6-10
2. In Spirit and truth Jn 4:24
....................................to be continued next week
Can we say we worhsipped without worshipping in truth and spirit?
case : we are sitting in a group prayer and we say "Amen" after each prayer. But we are actually not worshipping that moment in truth and spirit.
