| WORSHIP - Essence | 崇拜 - 本質 |
| True worship exalts God to his rightful place in our
lives. 真實的崇拜將上帝高舉到祂在我們心中當有的位置。 |
| Christian worship is at once
the Word of God and the obedience response thereto. W. H. Cadman 基督徒的崇拜就是上帝的話語與我們的順服相互回應的過程。 |

| To worship God is to realize
the purpose for which God created us. Herbert M. Carson 敬拜上帝就是去察覺上帝創造我們的目的。 |
| Worship is the declaration by a creature of the
greatness of his Creator. Herbert M. Carson 崇拜是創造主偉大受造物的宣告。 |
| Reverence is essential to
worship. Frank Gabelein 尊敬在崇拜中是必要的。 |
| Worship is that to which we give our interest, our
enthusiasm and our devotion. Clarence E. MacCartney 崇拜就是我們獻上自己的興趣、熱誠及摯愛。 |
| Worship...is giving to the
Lord the glory that is due in response to what he has revealed to us and done to us in
Jesus Christ his Son. Oswald B. Milligan 崇拜是將榮耀歸給主。這是回應祂藉著耶穌基督祂的愛子為我們彰顯並成就的事。 |

has revealed himself in Christ and in his Word. J. Oswald Sanders 崇拜是讚美思想上帝，如同祂在基督以及祂的話語中的啟示。 |
| In true worship men...have
little thought of the means of worship; their thoughts are upon God. True worship is
characterized by self-effacement and is lacking in any self-consciousness. Geoffrey Thomas 在真正的崇拜裡，人很少想到崇拜的意義；他們的思想集中在上帝。真正崇拜的特色是自我而沒有自我意識。 |
| Worship is the submission of all our nature to God.
It is the quickening of conscience by his holiness, the nourishment of the mind
with his truth, the purifying of the imagination by his beauty, the opening of the heart
to his love, the surrender of the will to his purpose. William Temple 崇拜是將我們一切本性降服上帝面前。崇拜是藉著祂的聖潔甦醒我們良心、以真理餵養我們的心思，以祂的榮美潔淨我們的想像，以祂的慈愛開啟我們的心懷，將我們的意志順服祂的目的。 |
