This document discusses the importance and proper understanding of worship. It defines worship as having two spheres: corporate worship, such as in church gatherings, and daily worship in one's personal life. God is worthy of worship because of who he is as creator and because of his attributes, and also because of what he does such as forgiving sins and healing. The document urges worshipping God due to human nature and the influence worship has on becoming like what is worshipped. It provides several Bible passages explaining why worship of God is necessary and good.
