(10//10/2019) The Purpose Of Worship




Today, reply is on worship as necessary to continue human existence and life. The living require ongoing relationship and uninterrupted contact with the Creator wherein their needs for health, nourishment, and increase of sacred content will be acknowledged and addressed. It is written:  Psalms 43: 3-5, King James Version (KJV): 3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. A fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and Spirituality using the ID “????” (Level 4 with 4,377 points, a member since December 08, 2006) posted the following:



What is the purpose of worshipping god?
Is it so you can go to heaven regardless of the situation your in, even if your in a bad situation and he doesnt help you. Or is it so god can help make your life better? What if a innocent young person was sentenced to death and he never gave his life to god, hell automatically go to hell?



THE GOLDEN ARROW: O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth. (Psalms 96: 9-13, KJV)



THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Divine Fullness Is Spirit (09/11/2019); Decently And In Order (06/26/2019); Known By His Fruit (11/04/2018); Eternal Praise and Worship? (01/30/2018); Worship and the Cross (11/27/2017); In Spirit and Truth? (10/02/2017); Knowing the Invisible GOD (09/17/2017)



????”, the duration of existence and life within created beings and living creatures depend on their having contact with the origin and source of their process and substance. To exist as more than an abstraction or material object, and to experience freedom and an acceptable quality of life, the living must know GOD, and be known by GOD. Divine fullness (we also say, divinity; the Creator; the Godhead; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) may be understood as a singular entity made up of all spirit matter that is. Inseparable aspects of divinity include balance, direction, faith, holiness, hope, joy, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood, purpose, righteousness, truth, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Therefore, for there to be meaningful communication, exchange and interaction between divinity and Creation that are uninterrupted by death or the operations of sin, mankind and other living creatures (e.g., animals, angels, sacred beasts of heaven) must contain deposits and endowments of life essence imparted from the makeup of GOD (we also say, breath; divine DNA; sacred “seed”; spirit; word). Mutual acknowledgment and ongoing relationship with GODwho is immortal, immutable, ineffable, invisible, unchanging, and without dimension and measurable form—appear and are set forth through declarations of divine law, and fixed patterns, practices, principles, proclamations, and promises. Worship is the living display of sacred spirit abiding and indwelling those who willingly serve as eternal life companions with divinity. Judgment is the examination of records maintained by divinity (the book of life) that detail attitudes, conduct, spirit content, and responses to divinity shown by the living. Judgment will be carried out before the dead and the living undergo a final transformation to exist as immortal and incorruptible. The lake of fire (the second death) expressing the displeasure of divinity and wrath against sin will continue to burn until it no longer has fuel (i.e., until everything put in it is burned up, and even ashes and residue no longer exist). Thus, acceptable worship also includes confession, gratitude, humility, prayer, praise, rejoicing, repentance, sacrifice, service, sharing, silence, suffering, and waiting. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible, and a presentation from the music ministry of the Winans with Donnie McClurkin:

(1.) Matthew 7: 18-23, King James Version (KJV): 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(2.) Colossians 2: 8-15, KJV: 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

There is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example (3.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofyjNrai1fU) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
