      A Little Book About Worship - Jim Johnston

      CHAPTER ONE: WORSHIP AND INDIVIDUALS

      There are several different Hebrew and Greek words that have been translated by the English word worship in our Bibles. Each conveys a different shade of meaning worthy of consideration in its context. The English word worship is itself an interesting word being derived from the Old English (or Anglo-Saxon) word ‘weorthscipe’ (worthship) and denoting the worthiness of the person who is the object of the homage or worship.

      Man has an inner consciousness of the Divine Being and a disposition to worship. This desire to worship is in greater or lesser measure common to all men, even the most primitive tribes have their objects of worship. This is a characteristic trait which distinguishes man from the brute creation. The capacity that man has for worship has been often alas, misdirected, for men have often worshipped things that are no gods. It has always been the purpose of the great Deceiver to turn men away from God and to prevent them from rendering to God the portion that is His due. Paul in his epistle to the Romans describes the retrogression of men in wilfully turning away from the one true God to worship the creature rather than the Creator:

      "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

      Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen" (Rom.1:18-25 NKJV).

      Taking as the objects of their worship the images of beasts and creeping things men became like those objects, bestial in their habits and way of life.  Idolatry has normally associated with it gross immorality, for idolatry is a practice that debases men, and the power behind it is demon power (1 Cor.10:19,20). In contrast to this the worship of God elevates men, for it promotes holiness in the lives of the worshippers and an increasing likeness to the One being worshipped. A man may merit the respect or tribute of his fellows, but no man (save One) is worthy to be an object of the worship of angels and men.

      When the Lord Jesus was here on earth He received the worship of men. when the Magi came into the house and saw the young child with Mary His mother ... they fell down and worshipped Him (Matt.2:11). In the days of His manhood the same homage was paid to Him by the
