Publisher's Synopsis
Praise as "to glorify, especially by the attribution of perfections." God is absolutely perfect in every aspect, which means that He is worthy of praise. The Bible commands every living creature to praise the Lord (Psalm 150:6). There are three Hebrew words found in the Bible that explain praise in nuance. These words are yadah, which means "praise, give thanks, or confess;" zamar, which means "sing praise;" and halal, which means "to praise, honour, or commend." All three terms indicate giving thanks and honour to one who is deserving of acclamations. worship is uniquely based on the teachings of the New Testament. A look at the New Testament's principles regarding worship reveals many principles that help us understand the meaning of Christian worship for today. First, Jesus noted that His true worshipers will worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). This includes both accurate (truth) and expressive (spirit) worship, including loving the Lord with all of a person's heart, soul, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:36-40; Mark 12:28-34). "Expressive" worship does not mean that worship must be loud nor does it indicate any particular physical posture. It simply means that worship comes from our spirits and involves our being (heart, soul, mind, and strength); it is something we express. Worship is a lifestyle response to God, not just something done through music at church. Worship includes daily loving God according to His teachings found in Scripture as well as with heart and emotions focused on Him. The main purpose of worship and praise is to: Worshiping and praising is living a fulfil life on earth as stipulated in scripturesGod placed man or woman from the very beginning in the garden of Eden was to worship and praise him.purpose of our creation is to worship and praise God in his presence to build a personal relationship with God and praise and worship equips us with divine power for face life that physical realm cannot manage but only the spiritual realm.I know this book will add to your understanding, insight and wisdom on why we should worship and praise God.
