Works is no Substitute for Worship...


Works defined: Operating or functioning as required.

Worship defined: Reverent honor and devotion.

"Bring no more futile sacrifices; incense is an abomination to Me"- Isaiah 1:13

You can do a million things in the name of Jesus but if your heart is not wholly set on Him in humble adoration, in reverence to who you serve and dedicated devotion then these works mean nothing...they are self righteous and but filthy rags.

Worship is a heart condition...He's calling you to spend intimate fellowship with Him, to set your heart on His and from this profound encounter with His grace and love we will produce good works in His name. We will become living sacrifices from the knowledge of His sacrifice.

To simply "operate as required" in the name of Jesus and keep our schedules full does not satisfy our King. He is more concerned about you-the worker, then the work to be done. It's all futile without adoration!

“Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began" - 2 Timothy 1:9

Let not just our works be committed to You but our reverent hearts...
