Bible Answer: Greetings FyRobert. Please tell the Forum a little about yourself by completing the personal profile section!(click on "Update User Info." under the Resources Index on the lower left of your screen) When you look at a specific verse, you must remember to read it in context. In the passage you are referencing, Jesus was referring to people who rejected Him. These folks have no reason to praise Him, for they do not honor Him in their hearts. Do a word search "praise the Lord" and you will see that this is how God's people respond to His love, mercy and grace! "From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised." Psalm 113:3 Praise is a command, not a suggestion. We show our love for God by being obedient to His Word,(John 14:15) yet bear in mind that God examines our hearts; (Jer 12:3) He knows if our love for Him is genuine or pretense! Singing is one way, of many, that believers worship and praise the Lord. See also Luke 19:37-40. mommapbs |
