Worship According to God

From Eden to Eternity: God’s Pattern of Acceptable Worship

Who decides how God is worshiped?

Worship belongs to God. Therefore, His revealed Word—not human preference, emotion, entertainment, or tradition—must determine how He is approached.

Worship According to God traces worship through the entire biblical story—from Eden, the patriarchs, and Israel’s tabernacle and temple to Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, the worship of the church, and the eternal praise pictured in Revelation.

This Bible-centered study examines:

• The meaning and purpose of worship

• Cain and Abel and the necessity of faith

• The patriarchal altars and sacrifices

• Melchizedek and the priesthood of Christ

• The tabernacle, temple, sacrifices, feasts, and priesthood

• Nadab and Abihu and the danger of unauthorized worship

• Jesus’ teaching about worship in spirit and truth

• The establishment and devotion of the church in Acts 2

• Singing, prayer, giving, preaching, and the Lord’s Supper

• Biblical authority through instruction, approved example, and necessary inference

• The difference between an expedient and an unauthorized addition

• Worship before God’s throne in eternity

Scripture is quoted and cited throughout so readers can examine what God has said for themselves. The book also includes congregational-study questions and helpful biblical appendices, making it suitable for individual study, Bible classes, teachers, preachers, and entire congregations.

Worship must arise from faith, submission, gratitude, reverence, and love—but it must always be governed by truth.
