CHAPTER I

THE PURPOSE OF WORSHIP

The light of nature showeth that there is a God, Who hath lordship and sovereignty over all; is good and doeth good unto all, and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with all the might..." [The Confession of Faith of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Chapter 21.]
The Christian life is a response to God, expressing itself in worship and service. After a man's reconciliation to God through the blood of Christ, he desires by the moving of the Holy Spirit to seek a knowledge of Him, to aspire after Him, and to respond to Him in adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication, and obedient love.
The purpose of worship is affirmed by the words of the psalmist.
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help: My help cometh from the Lord, Which made heaven and earth..."
Psalm 121:1,2 (KJV)
