Would you take your Bibles and turn to Revelation 4? We have come to worship Him. The English word “worship”—which is used in our Bible both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament—has four different Hebrew words behind it. But there is one primary word in Hebrew that is used 172 times. It is the word, tsedeq. It basically means “to bow down.”

In the New Testament it is interesting, as you read the word “worship,” there are eight different Greek words behind that word. And again, there is one primary word, proskyneō, which is a compound word of the verb “to kiss” and the preposition “toward”. And the way it was used is interesting. If you came into a courtroom of a king or a dignitary and you were invited to come near to him, across usually a marble or glass pavement, the first thing that you would do to honour him would be to bow down and to kiss his hand or his ring or his scepter. And that word “to kiss toward” is the word used in the New Testament which is translated worship.

True worship is based on the inexhaustible excellencies of God. To worship God is to affirm His supreme worth, for He alone is worthy.

Worship involves awareness of God, awe in His presence, adoration of Him because of His excellencies and acts, and an affirmation of praise in all He is and does.

The greatest need in all of Christendom is the clear understanding of the biblical teaching about worship. That consuming, selfless desire to give to God is the essence and the heart of worship.

Genuine worship takes place only when God is worshipped for His own sake. The greatest achievement of the human soul is to be able to commune with God. The most significant activity of any group of people is to come into His presence and to magnify and worship His holy name.

In Revelation 4 the scene is heaven—the centre of that is the throne of God. Let’s read it: Rev 4:1–11

1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were, Read more..
