Don Williams on Worship as our Destiny

By Mark Roberts @ http://www.markdroberts.com/

"Kingdom life begins in worship and ends in worship. Our destiny is to become eternal worshipers of the Triune God. When many hear this, they are turned off. They say, "I don't want to play a harp, sit on a cloud, or sing in a choir forever." They simply project their bad church experiences into their eternal future. But, as we have seen, worship, at its heart, is submission and surrender to the living God. It confesses, "Jesus Christ, is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Phil 2:11). True worshipers pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." But one day this petition will turn to praise: "Your kingdom has come. Your will is done, right here, right now, on our transformed earth, throughout our transformed universe, as well as in the highest heaven." (p. 230)
