Throughout Scripture, the act of worship is shaped by and related to God’s acts of redemption in the closest possible way (R. Scott Clark, Recovering the Reformed Confession, 258).

The worshipers God desires have always worshiped God in accordance with God’s revealed will, e.g., Abram built altars, Moses assembled a Tabernacle, Solomon constructed the First Temple in Jerusalem. But for us, for New Covenant believers, what is acceptable worship? How do we serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear?

We worship and serve God in Christ, because the Father through Christ has redeemed us. We are born again, by Word and Spirit, and reborn we see and enter into the kingdom of God (John 3).

Hebrews 1:1-2a: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son.

Hebrews 12:28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
