"Humans are made to worship; Worship God (and not idols) from a grateful heart"
From the moment of our salvation, God’s intent with the rest of our lives on earth is that we’d be changed into the image of His Son, Jesus.
The Redeemer makes us new, redeemed people. Redeemed people worship the Lord for His steadfast love and mercy. I am redeemed and grateful beyond words, and I long to worship my Redeemer.
To reflect His glory and His grace.
Worship, however, is one of the areas in my Christian life where I have felt great inadequacy. When I only understood worship as “something you do,” I never felt like I was getting it right. Can you relate to that? I wanted to worship God the way the Bible wanted me to worship. If my heart is intended to worship God, then I want it to meet its purpose.
The goal of salvation is to produce worshipers—the redeemed are made worshipers at the moment of our salvation. We are worshipers!
TWO MAIN THOUGHTS:
1. In the Bible, worship is many times spoken of as an act or expression of our praise. Worship comes from the overflow of a grateful heart. We worship God personally in our everyday lives, and we come together as the body of Christ as an act of worship. When you first believe in Jesus, there is a deep and immediate gratefulness for the unearned forgiveness of sin, the assurance of God’s love, the promise of heaven, the restoration of our relationship to God, and the sacrifice of Jesus. The more we grow in the knowledge of Christ, the more we mature as believers. As a result, our gratefulness is ever-increasing.
2. Worship is how we’re meant to live our lives every moment of every day. Here is where God finally settled my “not enough” worries about worship. Worship is some days gathering with other believers and singing songs in church. But the definition of worship in the Bible goes further. Worship for believers is so much more.
The worship God desires means submitting my entire life to be transformed, becoming a reflection of His glory. All of life is intended to be worship for the redeemed. We cannot turn off our worship or stop being vessels of worship. Humans were made to worship. We will either worship the one, true God, or we worship idols—but either way, all of life is worship.

The moment you accept Jesus as the Lord over your life, you are redeemed. As the redeemed, we experience a lifelong journey of being transformed into His image. As redeemed women, we grow in the grace of Christ, and He calls us to extend grace to others.
