“I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.” (David, from Psalm 16:8-9)
What is the most essential aspect of Christian theology as it pertains to biblical worship? That it is God-centered. In Reformed theology a robust biblical understanding of who God is serves as the central reference point to which all other aspects of theology are related. In this video, Shawn Eaton teaches three ways in which holding high views of God is foundational to biblical worship:
- The Significance of High Views of God: Theology drives doxology and our doxology (our worship) drives the way we live.
- The Privilege of Holding High Views of God: Christians who have a God-centered worldview take great pleasure in pleasing God in worship and being set apart for His glory.
- The Responsibility toward High Views of God: Christians must have a transcendent, high, and exalted view of God if we are to worship God as He desires and please Him with our lives.
