A transfer of our worship

A sinful act involves worship of the wrong kind,
submitting ourselves at that moment to serve the
appetites of our pride or lust, and so repentance
is literally a transfer of our worship back to the
One who rightfully owns it..... Worship has been
misunderstood as something that arises from a
feeling which "comes upon you," but it is vital that
we understand that it is rooted in a conscious act
of the will, to serve and obey the Lord Jesus Christ.
The feelings, the joy of having been forgiven, follow
on as a consequence of our reunion with him.
