In Worship, We Praise God
Worship is not silent, empty, or passive.
True worship always expresses itself in praise—lifting our voices, our hands, and our hearts to honor the greatness of God. In worship, we bow before Him, adore Him, and proclaim His name with thanksgiving.
The Bible shows that praise is an essential expression of worship:
Worship includes praising God’s name
“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” — Psalm 29:2
In worship, the lips declare praise
“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess His name.” — Hebrews 13:15
Worship calls us to bless and praise the Lord together
“O come, let us worship and bow down… let us rejoice with songs of praise.” — Psalm 95:6; Psalm 95:1
The elders in heaven worship God with praise
“They fell down and worshiped Him… saying: ‘Worthy is the Lamb!’” — Revelation 5:8–12
Worship is expressed through thanksgiving and praise
“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and bless His name.” — Psalm 100:4
Worship is the posture of the heart. Praise is its voice.
You cannot worship without lifting praise to God, because praise declares His goodness, His holiness, and His glory.
In worship, we praise God—because He alone is worthy.
