Personal Relationship With God
Where is your competitive court? Around the neighborhood
, the office complex, the workout facility, where is it? All of us have many idols vying for our worship. The evil one wants us to burn up energy and time and wants us to waste our worship because he knows when we bow the knee to the true God, when we become intensely passionate about Him, things start to happen. Things start to turn around. Priorities get in order and change takes place. Worship is intrinsic, it is all encompassing. It is played out on a competitive court.Also, the intrinsic nature of worship tells us that it is continuous. Have you ever wondered why God wants to have a personal relationship with each of us? We have dissed God. We have turned our backs on Him. God does not need me. God does not need you. Sole purpose of God for sending His Son to die on the cross for our sins and to rise again was to give us the opportunity to move from wanderers to worshipers. The moment we bow the knee to Christ and invite Him into our lives, that is an act of worship. And we continue this worship stuff and, therefore, fulfill John 4vs24 which tells us that God is seeking true worshipers. Ultimately, when we graduate from this life into the next, I am talking about heaven, we become quintessential worshipers. Scripture says that some of us will go to heaven, those of us who know Christ and every glimpse of heaven we get in the Bible is a glimpse of worship. The Bible is not referring to some giant worship service where you have a pipe organ and a pastor preaching on and on and on throughout eternity. But it is worship. Every activity, thought, goal will be perfect but it will have behind it the passion of praise and worship to our God. Yes, some will go to heaven.
The Bible also talks about another place, hell. Some will face a Christ less eternity. God does not send anyone to hell. We make that choice. It is our call. Philippians 2 vs 10 to 11 tells us that before people go to hell, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. So those who are facing isolation in a Christ less eternity in a place called hell, will remember forever the last encounter they had with Jesus Christ was one of worship in
