The Westminster Shorter Catechism of Faith states, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” To glorify God—that’s worship! To enjoy Him forever—that’s the all-encompassing reward that includes these specific benefits:
Forgiveness. True worshipers recognize God’s holiness and accept His forgiveness (Romans 5:1; 1 John 1:9). Through worship they are purified.
Guidance. Those who honor God will be given wisdom and will receive His guidance day by day (Psalm 25:4-12; Proverbs 1:7; 3:5-6). Provision. Jesus said that God will meet our material needs if we give Him first place in our lives (Matthew 6:33; see also Psalm 23; 37:3-6).
Love. The love of God is experienced in the hearts of all those who are true worshipers (Psalm 63:3; John 14:21, 23; Romans 5:5).
Power. To all who give God the glory He deserves, He gives the enablement to do the things He requires of them (2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Ephesians 3:14-21; Philippians 4:13).
Protection. He faithfully watches over all who acknowledge Him, and He keeps them in all of life’s changing circumstances (Psalm 5:11-12; 1 Peter 1:5).
Glory. All true worshipers will one day be glorified. They’ll inherit a new heaven and a new earth and join a company of believers and angels in perfect, uninterrupted worship (2 Peter 3:13; 1 John 3:2; Revelation 19:1-10).

It’s All About The Heart
The gospel is designed to unite us rather than divide us. But how many times in our sinful nature do we cause unnecessary divisions by our attitudes and our actions even with fellow believers? Worshiping Christ is a matter of the heart, and no one who follows Him wholeheartedly should ever be excluded.
Watch this video to learn more about worshiping with all our heart.
