The Reformers and Puritans believed that how we worship is as important as how we are saved. They taught this because they understood—perhaps better than all Christians who have ever lived—that the way we worship, to a large extent, determines the God we worship. This is why biblical worship is always a response of the redeemed to God's initiative to make Himself known. If we worship according to our imagination and traditions, we worship, at least to some extent, a God of our own imagination; but if we worship according to God's own instruction, we worship the God who is, the one true God.
