Because of the example of our Lord. “He went as His custom was.”
Because of the scriptural exhortation that echoes across the centuries, “not forsaking our own assembling together as the custom of some is.” Because of the uplift which comes through worship. Who is not conscious that his greatest need in these days is “a Presence which disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts”? Because of the joys of Christian fellowship.
“Behold, how pleasant and how good that we, one Lord confessing, together dwell in brotherhood, our unity expressing.” Because of the courage and Christian optimism received. “I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Because of the contribution that worship makes to the building of a peaceful world.
“The rich and the poor meet together. The Lord is the maker of them all.” Because of the acquiring of a passion to serve in the spirit of Him “who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.”
Because of the glory worship ascribes to God. “Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.”
