New Covenant Worship

Did Christ come to die for us only to give us another chance to obey the law? The answer to that question is the central issue of worship and of the church of Christ. Here are the words of Jesus:


John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"


Both our daily life and our worship is coming to the Father. 


We are only able to live because His life is in us. Obeying on the outside without life on the inside is not at all what God has planned for us.When the Holy Spirit comes and rests in our lives, the light of Jesus comes into all the dark places of our heart. He enters into the inner rooms, throws up the shades and opens the windows to the life of God. When we worship with the Spirit it is because He is stirring in our souls. It is more than just doing on the outside the religious thing. In our spirit Jesus comes and washes and fills us so we can serve Him. He really is the way, the truth and the life both today in our fellowship and worship and also in eternity. No one comes to the Father except through Him.

John 14:15-16  If you love me keep my commands, and I will ask the Father and He will give you another advocate, to help you - and be with you forever...
