Psalm 100 says shout joy to the Lord all the earth. We are to worship the Lord with gladness and come before Him with joyful song. This is a command. When we do this as an act of obedience the Lord fills us with His presence. 3 "Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his ; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
Psalm 101 says we are to set before our eyes no vile thing. Covetousness is the last commandment and it is a secret sin that the Lord knows will ruin us as quickly as anything else. That is why He told the rich young ruler to sell all his possessions and follow Him. We are to get these things out of the Lord's rightful place in our lives so we can truly experience worship.
In Psalms 102 Jesus is prophesied to be our deliverer. He is our life and we are to tell others the good news of Christ and the life He brings. 19 "The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth, 20 to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death." Without Him we are all condemned but with Him we have life forever.
In Galatians 3 we see we are justified by faith in Christ as Abraham's seed. We are sons of the promise through the seed of Abraham which is Christ Jesus. 13 "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." 14 "He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit...27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." We are all one in Christ.
