Reverence And Godly Worship
This from Steve Camp's blog;
I have been teaching on Leviticus 9:22-10:3 when traveling to
churches and conferences on the theme of biblical worship - the worship-centered life.
It is one of the most powerful portions of God's Word of the holiness of God.
I have not posted any pictures on this article nor will I.
No picture could truly represent the holiness of God
and the reverence of the Lord in worship associated with this text.
I would humbly ask that you just allow the words of God's Word
speak to your heart and mind; and may the powerful exposition by John Gill
impress upon you the weight of God's glory
and the danger of treating Him as anything but holy.
The Lord Jesus Christ is not a dude;
He is not our home-boy; He is not our buddy or pal;
He is not One to be made fun of, treated in a casual manner,
or referred to by vulgar or unwholesome speech.
He is the Lord our righteousness. Did you hear that?
HE IS THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS!
And to treat Him, approach Him, or speak of Him as anything less than that,
is rather to mock Him than worship Him.
As I look at this text and the holiness of God represented,
then look at my own life, I am ashamed, broken and brought low.
Like Isaiah of old, I too cry, "Woe is me!"
Praise the Lord that He is a God of grace, for otherwise,
I would be lost in my sins, have no hope of the promise of salvation,
and under His eternal wrath and judgment forever.
Oh to worship the Lord as holy and in the beauty of holiness;
only by His sovereign grace can we enter in to true worship of our Lord. Amen?
His unworthy servant in His unfailing love,
Psalm 96
