Topic:
Acceptable Worship.
Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
It is your responsibility of faith to see to it that you worship God in a way that is acceptable to Him.
Ecclesiastes 5:1
Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
What makes worship acceptable to God is the extent to which it is done according to the reality Christ has brought to light, through the gospel.
II Timothy 1:8-10
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
It is as you walk daily and serve God's purpose, in the light of the reality of the life and immortality Christ has brought to light, that the Lord God Almighty will accept you and bless your works.
The measure to which you intentionally and consistently walk in the light of what Christ has done, in all your dealings with God, is the measure to which He will find your worship acceptable.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the way to access and explore the Father's heart.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the truth that keeps the Father's heart open to you.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the life you need to connect and stay connected to the Father.
To walk and serve God's purpose outside of absolute faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and confidence in His finished work, is an effort in futility.
Ephesians 4:17-24
This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
It is a fatal mistake to have dealings with God with a mind that is unrenewed with the truth that is in Jesus.
An unrenewed mind is only capable of relating with carnal things. It can only handle physical realities. It can only deal in the realm of the physical senses.
It is practically impossible for you to walk with God and serve His purpose, in a way that is acceptable to Him, with an unrenewed mind.
Romans 8:5-8
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
You must be renewed in the spirit of your mind for your worship to be acceptable to God.
You must be spiritually minded for your worship to be acceptable to God.
You must be spiritually minded to serve the purpose of God, in a way He will find acceptable.
John 4:23-24
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
Seeing that it takes being rooted and built up in the truth that is in Jesus for your worship to be acceptable to God, you owe it to yourself to embrace the diligence of walking daily and serving God's purpose in the light of the reality of the life you have in union with Christ.
See to it that your mind is daily renewed with the knowledge of the life and immortality the Lord Jesus Christ has brought to light, through the gospel.
See all things and do all things in the light of what the Lord Jesus Christ has done in you and for you.
Be spiritually minded. Think, speak and conduct yourself in the light of the fact that you are in union with Christ.
Embrace the diligence of studying the Scriptures and meditating on it daily.
Embrace the wisdom of praying always in unknown tongues.
Be careful to walk daily and serve God's purpose in the light of the truth that is in Jesus, today and always.
Meditate On This:
John 4:23-24
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
Action Points:
1. Be careful to make your daily walk and dealings with God a function of the life and immortality the Lord Jesus Christ has brought to light, through the gospel.
2. Think, speak and conduct yourself as that person in whom Christ has done all He has done and for whom Christ has done all He has done.
3. Relate with God and serve His purpose in the light of the reality of being in union with Christ.
Faith Confession:
I have the life of Christ in me. The Spirit of Christ is at work in me. I am one spirit with the Lord Jesus Christ. My mind is daily renewed with the truth that is in Christ Jesus. I walk daily and serve God's purpose according to the truth that is in Jesus. Amen. Hallelujah!
Prayer Points:
1. Heavenly Father, thank you for saving me. Lord, thank you for the life I have in union with your Son, Jesus Christ.
2. Heavenly Father, open the eyes of my understanding, so I may walk daily and serve your purpose in the light of the truth that is in Christ Jesus, the Lord.
