The first occurrence of the word worship in the Bible is in Genesis 22:5 when Abraham and Isaac are headed up the hill to the altar where Abraham planned to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God’s command . This was a test of Abraham’s faith And amazingly Abraham says to his servants, “Stay here . . . while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you” (verse 5). Abraham clearly looked upon his obedience as an act of worship. And pay attention Abraham said to his servants “we will come back” even though he knew  God had commanded he sacrifice Isaac’s life on the altar.  Abraham had faith enough in the sincerity  of his obedience in worship that in his heart of hearts, he and his son would somehow be able to return

Now on the other hand as we review the story of Cain and Abel they were both told to bring an offering unto God, Abel’s offering was accepted. But Cain’s offering to the Lord he did not look upon with favor. As we study scripture it is evident that Cain's offering was unacceptable because of his disobedience to God’s prescribed form of worship. Sincere worship to God can only be offered in obedience to His Word.  www.BibleDeliverance.org
