Come and Bow Down

“Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker,” Psalm 95:6 

One day we will all bow before our maker and give an account for our lives, but the account God is looking for is not how good you were on earth or even how many good deeds you did in this life. Heaven is only populated by those who are spiritually bankrupt, those who know that they have nothing good in themselves to offer God, those who long to be clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. 

God, in his mercy, is inviting us to yield our lives to Him here and now, this side of heaven, before it’s too late. “Come,” the Psalmist beckons, “let us worship and bow down.”

We can worship and bow down because Jesus Christ, the righteous Son of God, did for us that which we could never do for ourselves. Because of his humility and obedience, God has exalted him and given him a name that is above every other name, a name to which every creature in heaven, on earth and beneath the earth will also one day bow down.
