This Is Truly The Way To Worship Him

The only true and acceptable way to worship God is to give our bodies as living and holy sacrifices to Him.

"And so, dear brothers and sisters,

I plead with you to give your bodies to God

because of all He has done for you.

Let them be a living and holy sacrifice —

the kind He will find acceptable.

This is truly the way to worship Him."

Romans 12:1 (NLT)

How do we make our bodies holy so that we can enter into worship with God? — by asking Him to search our hearts and point out anything in us that offends Him.

"Search me, O God,

and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Point out anything in me that offends you,

and lead me along the path of everlasting life."

Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)

If God reveals sin in us, then we must confess to this sin and repent, so that He can forgive us and cleanse us from all wickedness.

"But if we confess our sins to Him

He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all wickedness."

1 John 1:9 (NLT)

Only once this cleansing process is complete are we free to worship God and enter into His presence; we cannot enter into His presence without first God's purification. This is a vital step that is often overlooked in our lives and in the church when we seek to worship God and desire His presence.
