2) Is to be done in reverence.

3) Arises from the heart overflowing with gratitude.

4) Is reinforced with godly living.

5) Involves the entire person.

3. True worship, as seen in the fragrance prepared for the worship of God in Old Testament times and noted in our last lesson (Exodus 30:34-38), is reserved for God alone – thus, true worship is to be unique.
