Conversations for discipleship 3

Discipleship conversation three is all about worship.

Humans have been made for worship, it is one of teh wonderful things about being created in the image of God. We all worship and so the question is not whether we will or not, but only whom or what will we worship. Some will worship money, sex, power and some will worship family. There is no end to the idols we will place in Jesus' rightful position. Christians worship Jesus because He is holy and has saved us from Satan, sin, and death. All of life is worship and that means our lives become totally immersed in him and his work in the world - this does not mean we must become a missionary to outer Mongolia - your office and home need missionaries too!

This is why Paul says "So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."(1 Corinthians 10:31)

But worshipping God is not just what we do to rightly walk with Him; it is also how we are transformed to be more like Jesus.

"And we all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:18)
