Preparing for corporate worship: 'We' and 'Him'

“[Y]et for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him” (I Cor. 8:6). These powerful words provide much truth-based fuel for our worship. We worship a triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This verse focuses on the first two persons of the Trinity. Paul says all things come from the Father, and “we exist for Him.” We live for His glory and purpose. Paul says while the Father is the source of creation, the Son is the agent in creation, and “we exist through Him.” We live by His creative power, and we also live as Christians “through Him” – through His life, death and resurrection. Our church will gather to worship Sunday with these truths informing that worship: One God. One Lord. Their work. Our purpose. It is about the Father and the Son. May they receive the glory.
