his marvelous deeds among all peoples.25 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.

John 4:23
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
3. God desires for his creation to praise Him.
Psalm 150:6

4. Worship reminds us that Jesus has died on the cross for our sins to restore our relationship with God.
Hebrews 13:15
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
5. God delights in us singing to Him, as much as He rejoices over us with singing!
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”
6. Worshiping God reminds us of the marvellous works He has done in our lives.
Psalm 96:3-4a

his marvellous deeds among all peoples.4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise

you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.

and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.

It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
9. True worship is to offer ourselves as a living sacrifce.
Romans 12:1
12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
10. When we worship God, He will draw near to us.
John 12:32
32 And I, when I am lifted up[a] from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
Hence, let us fix our eyes on Jesus for the sure hope and joy we have in Him, in this race on earth (Heb 12:2). We worship God because of WHO HE IS. Because of our Lord, we have inherited an unshakeable victorious Kingdom (Heb 12:28).
