“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24
“And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.” Eph. 5:18-21
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Col. 3:16
God is seeking those who will worship Him with enthusiastic heart-felt praise and adoration through biblically sound, doctrinaly true, worship in psalms, hymns & spiritual songs, old and new, that allow us to speak to one another, with biblically appropriate emotion for the spiritual edification of all involved.
Enthusiasm, (i.e. literally “the state of being full of God”) is the outward, physical expression of an inner emotional state. Worship is therefore to be appropriately emotional about what is really true. When we are in the presence of our awesome God, we should tremble with joy and gratitude that expresses itself in the musical and lyrical art forms of psalms, hymns and spontaneous spiritual songs, not only toward God, but also toward one another, as we worship God together.
