True Worship and the Consequences of Idolatry

John Knox (1505-1572) was a Scottish Reformer, who, by God’s providence, was used as a catalyst for one of the greatest religious revivals in Protestant history at the time of the Reformation. Do you know the difference between true and false worship? Can false worship be true worship? Is God honored by false worship even when you are sincere in giving it? Knox defines idolatry as, “all worshipping, honoring, or service invented by the brain of man in the religion of God, without his own express commandment.” Are you an idolater? As much as this might be a hard question to consider, it is an appropriate question in light of God’s directives in Scripture to regard him as holy in corporate worship. Without coming to God as He requires, we do not worship God as he has instructed us in scripture.
