Worship, Part 3/5

Translate/ Terjemahan: Indonesia

Full Submission

Worship engaged whole thing which are in us: body, mind and heart (Boot. J. 2007). The orientation of our perspective toward Him is an act of our worship. The ways we conduct ourselves as a living testimony is an act of worship. How do we treated and love other is an act of worship. Archbishop William Temple in his definition on worship has put it rightly:

Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God.

It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness,

Nourishment of mind by His truth,

Purifying of imagination by His beauty,

Opening of the heart to His love,

And submission of will to His purpose.

And all this gathered up in adoration

is the greatest of human expressions of which we are capable."

(Wikipedia, 2006)

The act of worship is an act imitating our God, we shall become like the one we worshiped. When the worlds look at us they should be able to see Christ alive in within us.
