True worship is how we live. Worship is what we do. Worship means we account God worthy. If we account Him worthy then we present our self to Him as a living sacrifice. This means we live in obedience to His word. Worship is what we do with our body.
We know how much we worship God by what we do with our body. We know how much we worship Him by whether or not we keep His commandments. We do not judge our love for God by our feelings, anointing, or blessings. We judge it by the way we live. We love God to the extent that we keep His commandments, no more and no less.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (worship). And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…(Rom 12:1-2).
We cannot love God with our heart alone and not with our body. Worship is how we live, with our whole being. God is worthy of our whole being, or He is not worthy to us at all. If we say God is worthy and do not live in holiness we are lying. The first response of true worship is holiness.
This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for His friends. You are My friends, if you do whatever I command you. (John 15:12-14).
