TRUE WORSHIPPERS
What is a 'true worshipper'? Have you
heard teaching on this Bible subject before? Why not? Why aren't the 'religious
teachers' teaching on important Bible subjects such as this one? We must
realize that this phrase embodies a most important concept of Truth that must
be adhered to if we want to be 'right' in the sight of the Creator in order to
be accepted by Him! Does it matter if the whole world rejects this concept, as
long as it comes from our Creator?
Most people today don't even want to
concede that there are 'worshippers' that will NOT go to heaven! The present
popular religious position today is: "as long as you are sincere
religiously, and trying to worship God 'sincerely', then He WILL accept your
worship! But is this what the Creator says? Study JOHN 4:23,24 very closely! Notice that we 'MUST'
worship the Creator in 'spirit' and 'truth'!
'In spirit' means that we
must worship the Creator with the inward man, not just the outward physical
man! Many people 'go through the motions' of worship, but their heart is far
from Him:
'In truth' means that we
must worship the Creator according to His will, His precepts, His doctrines,
NOT man's doctrines:
Now, let us look at some other types of
worshippers that are found in God's Word.
VAIN WORSHIP
This is ‘empty’, ‘without results’, ‘a
fault’, ‘to no purpose’. Mark continues:
WILL – WORSHIP
IGNORANT WORHIP
