The worship word comes from the Old English word "weorthscipe" meaning the quality that renders something desirable, useful, or valuable. Another definition of the worship word is to give ultimate value and worth. Words that translate as "worship" in the bible include the ideas of serving, being face down in submission or adoration, and to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand. If we are going to give God ultimate worth and value then worship will have to be a way of life. Jesus gives us many ways to show God he is what and who we give ultimate value and worth to.
Some teachings of Jesus found in the book of Matthew that will help us live in worship of God…
Unless your practice of religion surpasses that of the pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
You are the light of the world, let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Simply let your yes be yes and your no be no.
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgement. Go and be reconciled with your brother and then come and offer your gift to God.
Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Give to the one who asks you and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. (be mature and complete in the likeness of God.)
Give to the needy without fanfare.
Pray privately to God.
Do not be anxious for your food, clothes, life.
Seek first His kingdom.
Do not judge.
However you want people to treat , so treat them.
