Worship Is The Reformation’s Core
- Sinclair B. Ferguson argues the Reformation's deepest purpose was to restore true worship, not just emphasize Scripture or justification.
- Scripture and justification are means whose ultimate end is bringing people to worship God.
Justification Leads To Fellowship And Worship
- Justification and forgiveness are presented as means to fellowship with God and to worship Him.
- The Spirit brings believers to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, which is worship.
