By Terry Johnson-PCA.
The Reformers and Puritans believed that how we worship is just as important as how we are saved. They taught this because they understood that the way we worship, to a large extent, determines the God we worship. This is why biblical worship is always the RESPONSE of the redeemed to God's initiative of self-revelation. If we worship according to our own imaginations and traditions, we will worship, at least to some degree, a God of our own invention. But when we worship according to God's own instruction, we worship the God who is THE ONLY TRUE GOD. For John Calvin, it was the issue of worship that necessitated the Reformation. The author argues a cogent and biblical case for worship according to the historic understanding of the regulative principle.
