Examples of false worship

Worship conducted in disobedience to God

Leviticus 10:1–2 KJV 1900
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

Worship and sacrifices offered by those who were not priests

1 Samuel 13:11–14 KJV 1900
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.

Worship lacking in due humility and reverence

Matthew 6:5 KJV 1900
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Worship conducted in ignorance of God

John 4:22 KJV 1900

Scripture vividly contrasts false worship with true worship

True worship involves the worshipper’s heart, soul and mind

Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV 1900
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

True worship is costly

; ; True worship involves the whole of a person’s life and not just formal acts of worship.

True worship is in the spirit

John 4:23–24 KJV 1900
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
