"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." -
1 John 2:15 KJV
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." - Matthew 6:24 KJV
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
"But now being made free from sin, and become servants
to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life." -
Romans 6:22 KJV
When Abraham went to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, he said
they were going to worship.
"And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here
with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to
you." - Genesis 22:5 KJV
Isaac became a living sacrifice, for the Lord provided a ram
caught in a thicket that took his place.
"And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a
lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together." - Genesis
22:8 KJV
"And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold
behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took
the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son."
- Genesis 22:13 KJV
Jesus, the lamb of God, was the sacrifice that took our place.
Out of love, He gave His life for us. Out of love, we give our life for Him. This
is our worship.
We repent and turn our back on the sinful pleasures of this
world, and allow God’s transforming power of His Spirit to make us holy and
acceptable to Him. This is our worship.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." - Romans 12:1-2 KJV
