We were created for Worship
Why does the Lord invite us into a posture of worship? The Lord, in His mercy, designed us to find our fullest expression in life by standing before Him accepted, delighted in, and ministering unto Him in thanksgiving and praise. God always chooses the best. If God, in loving us, chooses to design us as worshippers, then what's the point? You always become like what you worship.
There’s nothing He could want more for us than for us to become like Him. With that in mind, He designed us to be worshippers. In our history at Grace Life, there was a line drawn in the sand where we said, "This is why we’re alive, this is our supreme responsibility, our great God-given opportunity to be those who minister to the Lord." As a church, our entire ministry grew out of that priority. Almost everything we've ever learned, we've learned as worshippers.
