Worship has nothing to do with massed choirs, light shows, awe-inspiring buildings or tingle-inducing music. It has everything to do with every part of our lives. The conclusion of the letter to the Hebrews urges us to offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe. This includes how we spend our money, our sex lives, the way we look after other Christians, listening to and obeying God’s word and unashamed discipleship. This passage explains why we should revolutionise our lives to make such things the key priorities of our lives.
Keep receiving (with Q&A)
Hebrews 12:25-29
25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.
