Doctrine leads to worship

Romans 11;33Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

My old pastor used to say that we don't worship a doctrine, we worship God. While this is certainly true, for the Christian, their doctrine, which is what you believe, is of vital importance. If your doctrine is off, then your worship will be off. Our doctrine informs our worship. 

Let's look at the cross for example. If all you believe was accomplished on the cross is that Jesus died for your sins so you wouldn't go to hell. Then you only are scratching at the surface of Christianity and your worship will reflect that and be shallow. 

But if you study what the Bible says was accomplished on the cross by Christ, then you will realize that so much more was accomplished there. A partial list would be-
Access to God in prayer
Sins forgiven- past present and future
Healing
secured our eternal life
wrath of god satisifed

If you read the apostolic letters in the Bible, there are times when the writers will finish explain something about God, and they just begin to break into a doxology, or praise of God. The one that starts this post above comes at the end of Paul discussing how the Gentiles have been saved and brought into the gospel. The Jews have not been ignored, left out or forgotten. But God has grafted the Gentiles in. The knowledge of what God has done in saving both the Gentiles, and making future plans to bring Israel into the plans of salvation. Moves Paul to worship and praise of God the father. As it should for us.
