Do You Know What You Worship?

Do you know what you worship? That may seem like a strange question—even an unsettling one. Surely, we all know what we worship, right? Well, just because we worship doesn’t mean we worship correctly. Just because we go through spiritual motions doesn’t mean we truly worship. When Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman in John 4, she asked Him about worship. See, the Samaritans worshiped differently than the Jews. Jesus said to her, “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.” Jesus didn’t rebuke the Samaritans for not worshipping. But He did claim that by not obeying what the Law of Moses taught, they didn’t even know what they worshipped.

As New Covenant Christians, we no longer worship according to Moses’ Law, but we still must worship and do so in spirit and truth. So, once again, do you know what you worship? Do you worship in spirit and in accordance with the truth revealed in God’s Word?
