In Paul's final statement we find three truths about God that prompt our hearts to worship Him.
The Sadducees attempted to point out the absurdity of the belief in the resurrection of the body. Jesus, however, confronted the real problem with their unbelief: they did not truly know the Scriptures or the power of God.
Living a life pleasing to the Lord, and thus fulfilling the purpose for which we were created, is based upon the four basic goals this passage provides.
In choosing the lowly things of the world, God reveals the foolishness of the wisdom of lost humanity in order to demonstrate his superiority over all creation.
In this doxology that ends 11 chapters of doctrine, we find a summary of the biblical teaching about God: that He is the source, sustainer, and summation of all things.
AW Tozer wrote, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." This "hymn of praise" in Romans provides truth about God that helps us to both think correctly about Him and genuinely worship Him.
Paul writes to Timothy, his spiritual son, warning him of apostasy due to false teachings by false teachers. He instructs Timothy on how to lead a godly life and reminds him of God's goodness as the basis for perseverance.
The Transfiguration of Christ is one of the most significant events in salvation history. It was an amazing moment for Peter, James, and John that as well has implications for Christians today.
Coming to terms with the way we should worship and praise our Lord may seem like aiming at a constantly changing target. But in Psalm 145 David provides some much needed education for God-honoring, biblically-based exaltation.
Are we obedient to God in how we adore Him in all His ways? Are we bold for Him when we hear others speak His Holy Name incorrectly?
The believer has been redeemed so that he might live life with wisdom and insight, that he might live life with an illumined state of mind of who God is. God ordained this specifically that He might be worshiped.
The psalmist highlights God's sovereign rule and yet gracious care for man as two specific ways in which He manifests His majesty so that we too will join in praise to God.
In his closing words of his journal, Solomon the Preacher gives a final warning against pagan counsel and an exhortation of true worship.
Paul's brief summary of the gospel by bringing it to its natural conclusion: that Jesus Christ sovereignly commissions His servants and calls His saints. This commission is one of obedience and is ultimately for His own glory.
The point has been made that we must enjoy life but with an objective view as to how life really is, that God is sovereign. Yet righteous and wise living is no guarantee of earthly success. So what is the payoff? We do what is right because it is right to do and it brings glory to God.
The greatness of God is a genuine comfort for those who trust in Him. An overview of Isaiah 40.
In spite of all the vanity of earthly existence, Solomon has told of a sovereign God who gives a life of joy and pleasure. But how can this God be approached? Solomon inserts a proverbial unit that deals with the proper way to approach God.
Because God has put eternity in our hearts, he has a natural curiosity about the future. Solomon interjects two great truths about God: that he is both good and sovereign.

The pre-eminence of Christ over every order of being is repeated in different terms. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ and His subjugation, the Father is well-pleased to offer the solution to the enmity of the world.

The Psalmist notes that worship involves adoration of who God is, and expectant hope.
We observe three more characteristics about Old Testament worship, including its basis in the reality and recognition of God's presence and rule, and the role of external actions.

Making disciples has to do with evangelism -- seeking to win people to Christ. There are several important features of evangelism, including the means and the content.
