Worthy: The Worship of God

Christians understand we are called to gather together to worship him together, publicly. Why? Because our God is worthy, the scriptures say. We are compelled to worship because of his worthiness. He is to be “feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in and served with our whole selves.” And what guides that worship? How do we express our longing and our love for God when we are gathered? Eshelman shows that God gives us clear guidance. Our worthy God shows how he wants to be worshiped and warns against coming to our own conclusions. God’s plan for worship gives us unity as his people that will be ultimately fulfilled in our eternal life with him.
