For a long time, I thought if we were going to sing a “praise” song, it was going to have a speedy tempo and some catchy words to it. Recently I’ve expanded my understanding to include special moments like spectacular sunrises, lunar eclipses, and personal victories. But alas, this Hebrew word (‘hallel”) teaches me a different story. I’m no grammarian and I’m not offering a class in Hebrew vocabulary, I’m seeking transformative truth, and worship that transcends the run of the mill worship experience.
God intends for us to have assurance of His Grace if we are following and trusting Him according to the Scriptures. For Christians, there should be no uncertainty; there should be joy in the journey of the Christian life. We should be able to have confidence in our salvation because it is knowable.
In Matthew 9:9 Jesus told Matthew, “Follow me.” Paul instructs in 1 Cor. 11: 1, “Follow me as I follow Christ.”[1] These seem simple enough, but oftentimes doubt begins to settle in our minds, “Have I done enough?” and “How can I be certain?” Essentially, we’re asking the same question as those in Acts 2:37: “What must I do?” Sadly, many continue asking it long after becoming a Christian.
