Question

What is REAL worship? How important is "worship" to "faith"? What are the differences between a religious person, a "spiritual" person, and a person of faith? What does it matter who or what a person places at the center of their life and heart??

Answer 1

Worship literally means reverence towards the diety. This could in the form of offerings, singing hymns of praise, or performing rituals and ceremonies of worship. But a Real worship means reverence towards creator through your life by living it according to his will, submitting yourself before him with love and a dedication with love for him. Faith is a belief that is accompanied with action and confidence. Thus, worship is the action part of the faith with which one exhibits the confidence in their belief based on the past experience.

A religious person is one who adheres to the principles of a religion to exhibit the commoness with others who follow it. A spiritual person is an individual who adheres to some moral principles and guidelines because he or she believes that it would emancipate their soul or spirit. A person of faith is an individual whose belief in his or her God has helped to have right actions, and that his or her confidence that God is always good no matter what the situation is, and that he or she will have the courage to endure it. A person of faith has concern for the emancipation of one's own soul and of others.

If an individual places worldliness as the center of life and heart, they would seek the pleasures of this world in every aspect their life. Whereas, if an individual places the joys of kingdom of God, then pleasures of this world won't matter to them, but they will all those things that would bring the Kingdom of God to this world, and their life would be shaped so.
