God's Will

Romans 12:1-2

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will

To summarise this verses, we can infer that Paul is trying to tell us that all life would become ''spiritual worship''..And that our lives, or rather we, must be transformed, not just our external behaviours but also our inner thoughts, the way we feel and think..

Worship, is a part and parcel of our chirstian life, it is the most sincere and desirable way to express our love for God and his worth to us..

True worship - worship in spirit and in truth

John 4:23-24 - Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth

What do I mean by worshiping God in spirit and in truth?

''In spirit'' actually means this true worship is carried along with the Holy Spirit and is happening maily as an inward, spiritual event, and not as an outward, bodily event.Worship has to come from our hearts, the most vital part of our body that channels all our feelings and emotions..When the heart is far from God, worship is vain, empty and non-existent. The experience of the heart is the defining, vital, indispensable essence of worship.

Matthew 15:8-9 - These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men

This verse highlights that the true essence of worship lies in our very hearts..

Worship is a form of experience to display our innermost feelings and emotions in direct contact with God and in the right spirit.. It should not be just an outward form of worship practice but a spiritual experience and it does not necessarily hae to take place in church or in some evangelistic events..Worship comes from our hearts, therefore it can take place anywhere and at any time, for as long we pour out all our heart and soul into it..

Romans 1:9 - God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
Romans 12:1 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship
Philippians 3:3 - For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh

In conclusion,

Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do, whether in word or in deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him
