Worshiping God

Read the Bible through:
AM –
2 Chronicles 28-29 : PM – John 19:1-16

THROUGH CHRIST’S WORTHINESS
Revelation 5:1-5

5
But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."


A strong angel probed heaven and earth for one worthy to open a sealed scroll. Amid weeping that no worthy person could be found, someone pointed attention to Jesus. The elder declared Jesus worthy to loose the seals and open the scroll.

When believers pray and worship, we are able to come before God because of Jesus’ worthiness.

Her testimony was that prior to her conversion she felt utterly unworthy to enter church. Most of her adult years had been lived in pursuit of worldly pleasure. Her moral standards were almost nonexistent. When a funeral or wedding forced her into church, she felt dirty and unfit. Christ changed everything when He forgave her sins. His worthiness made her worthy to worship God.

Thank You, Father, for making me worthy to worship You.
