What does it say?
John recorded his vision of the worship taking place around the One sitting on the throne in Heaven.
What does it mean?
Revelation 4 gives an amazing description of the power, presence, and position of God the Father and the worship He deserves. Worship is an ongoing theme in Revelation because worship will be an ongoing activity throughout eternity. Two aspects of worship are highlighted – the character of those doing the worship and the character of the One being worshipped. God is worshipped because of His holiness and sovereignty over all creation. These qualities speak to His divine nature through which all things came to be and by which He will rule forever and ever.
How should I respond?
If we could see God in all of His glory, there’s no doubt we would fall to our knees in spontaneous worship. If you want to know what God is like, look at the life of His only Son recorded in Scripture. God has given us a revelation of Himself in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Seeing God as He is can put your life into proper perspective and help you sort out what is essential from what is incidental. God is holy, and we must be holy in our worship of Him. What needs to change in your life so you can worship in the presence of the holy God? How will you worship Jesus as your holy, sovereign Creator today?

Sobre este plano
Exiled on the island of Patmos, John wrote the book of Revelation to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. The book opens with encouragement and warnings for the seven churches and is followed by a series of end-times visions. Revelation’s powerful imagery assures believers of Jesus’ coming return, His triumph over all His enemies, and the establishment of His kingdom that will know no end.
