WORSHIP the LORD

 


Matthew 4:8-10

King James Version

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 

into an exceeding high mountain, 

and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, 

and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, 

All these things will I give thee, 

if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, 

Get thee hence, Satan: 

for it is written, 

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 

and him only shalt thou serve.


The LORD JESUS made it clear.

How we are to worship GOD:

"him only shalt thou serve"


Scripture is a rich source of ways.

Here's how we can worship and serve GOD.

And be worthy of CHRIST:

Psalm 95:1-7

King James Version

95 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: 

let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, 

and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

3 For the Lord is a great God, 

and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: 

the strength of the hills is his also.

5 The sea is his, and he made it: 

and his hands formed the dry land.

6 O come, let us worship and bow down: 

let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

7 For he is our God; 

and we are the people of his pasture, 

and the sheep of his hand. 

To day if ye will hear his voice,


Psalm 118:26-29

King James Version

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 

we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

27 God is the Lord, 

which hath shewed us light: 

bind the sacrifice with cords, 

even unto the horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: 

thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29 O give thanks unto the Lord; 

for he is good: 

for his mercy endureth for ever.


Isaiah 6:3

King James Version

3 And one cried unto another, 

and said, 

Holy, holy, holy, 

is the LORD of hosts

the whole earth is full of his glory.


Matthew 2:9-12

King James Version

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; 

and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, 

went before them, till it came and stood over 

where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, 

they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 And when they were come into the house, 

they saw the young child with Mary his mother, 

and fell down, 

and worshipped him: 

and when they had opened their treasures, 

they presented unto him gifts; 

gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

12 And being warned of God in a dream 

that they should not return to Herod, 

they departed into their own country 

another way.


Matthew 21:8-11

King James Version

8 And a very great multitude 

spread their garments in the way; 

others cut down branches from the trees, 

and strawed them in the way.

9 And the multitudes that went before, 

and that followed, cried, 

saying, 

Hosanna to the son of David: 

Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; 

Hosanna in the highest.

10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, 

all the city was moved, 

saying, 

Who is this?

11 And the multitude said, 

This is Jesus 

the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.


Luke 1:67-75

King James Version

67 And his father Zacharias 

was filled with the Holy Ghost, 

and prophesied, 

saying,

68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; 

for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us 

in the house of his servant David;

70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, 

which have been since the world began:

71 That we should be saved from our enemies, 

and from the hand of all that hate us;

72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, 

and to remember his holy covenant;

73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

74 That he would grant unto us, 

that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies 

might serve him without fear,

75 In holiness and righteousness before him, 

all the days of our life.


John 1:15-17

King James Version

15 John bare witness of him, 

and cried, saying, 

This was he of whom I spake, 

He that cometh after me is preferred before me: 

for he was before me.

16 And of his fulness have all we received, 

and grace for grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


John 1:29-34

King James Version

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, 

and saith, 

Behold the Lamb of God, 

which taketh away the sin of the world.

30 This is he of whom I said, 

After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: 

for he was before me.

31 And I knew him not: 

but that he should be made manifest to Israel, 

therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32 And John bare record, 

saying, 

I saw the Spirit 

descending from heaven like a dove, 

and it abode upon him.

33 And I knew him not: 

but he that sent me to baptize with water, 

the same said unto me, 

Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, 

and remaining on him, 

the same is he which baptizeth 

with the Holy Ghost.

34 And I saw, 

and bare record 

that this is the Son of God.


John 4:19-22

King James Version

19 The woman saith unto him, 

Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; 

and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place 

where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus saith unto her, 

Woman, believe me, 

the hour cometh, 

when ye shall neither in this mountain, 

nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what: 

we know what we worship: 

for salvation is of the Jews.


John 4:23-24

King James Version

23 But the hour cometh, 

and now is, 

when the true worshippers 

shall worship the Father 

in spirit and in truth: 

for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit and in truth.


Romans 12:1

King James Version

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, 

by the mercies of God,

that ye present your bodies 

a living sacrifice, 

holy, 

acceptable unto God, 

which is your reasonable service.


Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world: 

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

that ye may prove what is that good, 

and acceptable, 

and perfect, will of God.


Ephesians 5:18-21

King James Version

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; 

but be filled with the Spirit;

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms 

and hymns and spiritual songs, 

singing and making melody in your heart 

to the Lord;

20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God 

and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

21 Submitting yourselves one to another 

in the fear of God.


Colossians 3:15-17

King James Version

15 And let the peace of God 

rule in your hearts, 

to the which also ye are called in one body; 

and be ye thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ 

dwell in you richly 

in all wisdom; 

teaching and admonishing one another 

in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God and the Father 

by him.

when he bringeth in 

the firstbegotten into the world, 

he saith, 

And let all the angels of God 

worship him.


Hebrews 12:28-29

which cannot be moved, 

let us have grace,

the sacrifice of praise to God continually, 

that is,

giving thanks to his name.

1 That which was from the beginning, 

which we have heard, 

which we have seen with our eyes, 

which we have looked upon, 

and our hands have handled, 

of the Word of life;

2 (For the life was manifested, 

and we have seen it, 

and bear witness, 

and shew unto you that eternal life, 

which was with the Father,

 and was manifested unto us;)

3 That which we have seen and heard 

declare we unto you, 

that ye also may have fellowship with us: 

and truly our fellowship is with the Father, 

and with his Son Jesus Christ.


Revelation 4:8

King James Version

8 And the four beasts 

had each of them six wings about him; 

and they were full of eyes within: 

and they rest not day and night, 

saying, 

Holy, holy, holy, 

Lord God Almighty, 

which was, and is, and is to come.


Revelation 22:8-9

King James Version

8 And I John saw these things, 

and heard them. 

And when I had heard and seen, 

I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel 

which shewed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, 

See thou do it not: 

for I am thy fellowservant, 

and of thy brethren the prophets, 

and of them which keep the sayings of this book: 

worship God.

VERBS that MATTER

 

Revelation 20:10

King James Version

10 And the devil that deceived them 

was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, 

where the beast and the false prophet are, 

and shall be tormented day and night 

for ever and ever.


What are "verbs"?

My high school teacher defined it best.

She said VERBS are "action words".

What a beautiful, simple definition!

It has stayed with me since.

If you define it that way, no student can fail to understand it.

What does Scripture say about taking action?

James 1:22

King James Version

22 But be ye doers of the word, 

and not hearers only, 

deceiving your own selves.

Genesis 1:1-3

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; 

and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 

And the Spirit of God moved 

upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, 

Let there be light: 

and there was light.


John 1:1-4

King James Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; 

and without him was not any thing made 

that was made.

4 In him was life; 

and the life was the light of men.


John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)

 full of grace and truth.
