Worship is a matter of the heart, and it's always costly, requiring sacrifice and obedience. Christians must come to God with clean hearts, confessing their sins and yielding to His will. The Bible teaches that worship involves the sacrifice of praise, which is a matter of the lips and heart, and that giving is also a form of worship. The discipline of worship encompasses elements such as invocation, singing hymns, reading scriptures, receiving offerings, and obeying leaders. Ultimately, worship is preparation for heaven, where we will sing endless praise to God.
