What the Bible Actually Says About Worship. The confession of Israel, “Hear, O Israel: YHWH our God, YHWH is One,” locates worship in God alone. That axiom remains unchanged throughout Scripture, yet the coordinates of worship—its where, when, and how—shift dramatically as redemptive history moves from Sinai’s tabernacle to the risen Christ. This chapter traces that movement, showing why genuine worship today cannot be reduced to geography, architecture, or performance.
