Proclaiming and hearing God's word are parts of true worship.
John 8:47 |
"He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are
not of God." |
Acts 2:42 |
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the
breaking of bread, and in prayers. |
Acts 20:7 |
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. (KJV) |
2 Timothy 4:2-4 |
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke,
exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come
when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires,
because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned
aside to fables. |
Colossians 1:23-29 |
if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved
away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every
creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. I now
rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the
afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,
of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was
given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which
has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His
saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in
all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in
me mightily. |
2 Timothy 2:15 |
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (KJV) |
Romans 10:17 |
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. |
