Four groups of words throughout the Bible convey aspects of what we commonly call \u201cworship.\u201d New Testament writers use these and related terms in a transformed way to show how Jesus has fulfilled for us the pattern of worship given to Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-worship-as-homage-or-grateful-submission-to-god\"><strong>1) Worship as Homage or Grateful Submission to God<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common word for \u201cworship\u201d literally means \u201cbend over\u201d or \u201cbow down.\u201d It describes a gesture of respect or submission to human beings, to God, or to idols (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Gen+18%3A2&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gen 18:2<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Ex+18%3A7&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exod 18:7<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Ex+20%3A4-6&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20:4-6<\/a>). Combined with other gesture-words this term came to be used for the&nbsp;<em>attitude<\/em>&nbsp;of homage that the gesture represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, people sometimes expressed homage to God with prayer or praise (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Gen+24%3A26-52&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gen 24:26-27, 52<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Ex+34%3A8-9&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exod 34:8-9<\/a>) and sometimes with silent acceptance or submission (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Ex+4%3A31&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exod 4:31<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Judg+7%3A15&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Judg 7:15<\/a>). The book of&nbsp;Psalms&nbsp;contains many different expressions of worship, including lament, repentance, prayers for vindication, songs of thanksgiving, and praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u201cBending over to the Lord\u201d<\/strong><\/em> now means responding with repentance and faith to the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Ac+2%3A36-39&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 2:36-39<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Ac+10%3A36-43&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10:36-43<\/a>; cf.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+10%3A9-13&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rom 10:9-13<\/a>).

The sacrificial system enabled Israel to be cleansing from sin, consecration to God\u2019s service, and expressions of gratitude to God (Lev 1-7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New Testament describes Jesus\u2019 death as \u201ca sacrifice of atonement, through shedding of his blood \u2013 to be received through faith\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+3%3A25&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rom 3:25<\/a>; cf&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Heb+2%3A17&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heb 2:17<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=1+John+2%3A2&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 John 2:2<\/a>).

In particular, Christians are to offer to God through Jesus \u201ca sacrifice of praise \u2013 the fruit of lips that openly profess his name&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Heb+13%3A15&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heb 13:15<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-worship-as-reverence-or-respect-for-god\"><strong>3) Worship As Reverence or Respect for God<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a third group of words sometimes describes worship differently than the previous examples.

Only by being \u201credeemed\u2026with the precious blood of Christ\u201d can we be set free to serve God \u201cin reverent fear\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=1+Pet+1%3A17-21&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Pet 1:17-21<\/a>; cf.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Heb+12%3A28-29&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heb 12:28-29<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-worship-and-congregational-gatherings\"><strong>4) Worship And Congregational Gatherings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Worship in the Old Testament sometimes had a corporate expression, encouraging God\u2019s people to serve him faithfully in their individual lives (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Isa+1%3A10-17&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Isa 1:10-17<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Jer+7%3A1-29&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jer 7:1-29<\/a>). The New Testament rarely applies the specific word \u201cworship\u201d to Christian meetings (but see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Acts+13%3A2&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 13:2<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=1+Cor+14%3A25&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Cor 14:25<\/a>). Nevertheless, prayer, praise, and submission to God\u2019s will were central to congregational gatherings (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Acts+2%3A42-47&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 2:42-47<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Acts+4%3A23-37&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4:23-37<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Eph+5%3A18-20&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eph 5:18-20<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Col+3%3A16-17&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Col 3:16-17<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be best to speak of congregational worship as a particular expression of the total life-response that is the worship described in the new covenant. In the giving and receiving of various ministries, we may encounter God and submit ourselves to him afresh in praise and obedience, repentance, and faith (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Heb+10%3A24-25&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heb 10:24-25<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singing to God is an important aspect of corporate worship, but it is not the supreme or only way of expressing devotion to God. Ministry exercised for the building up of the body of Christ in teaching, exhorting, and praying is a significant way of worshiping and glorifying God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-of-these-types-of-worship-do-you-most-often-engage-in\"><strong>Which of these types of worship do you most often engage in?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-niv-biblical-theology-study-bible\">NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NIVBiblicalTheologyStudyBibleInApp-5-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible Worship\" class=\"wp-image-51133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NIVBiblicalTheologyStudyBibleInApp-5-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NIVBiblicalTheologyStudyBibleInApp-5-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NIVBiblicalTheologyStudyBibleInApp-5-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NIVBiblicalTheologyStudyBibleInApp-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like what you read?
