Worship usually refers to specific acts of
religious praise, honour, or devotion, typically directed to a
supernatural
being such as a god or goddess. It is the informal term in English for what sociologists of religion call
cultus, the body of practices and traditions that correspond to theology.
Religious worship may be performed individually, in informally
organized groups, or as part of an organized service with a designated leader (as in a church, synagogue, temple, or mosque). In its older sense in the English language of
worthiness or
respect (Anglo-Saxon
worthscripe),
worship may sometimes refer to actions directed at members of higher social classes (such as lords or monarchs) or to particularly esteemed persons (such as a lover).
Worship as a Christian is also defined as how you live your life, since worship is honor to a
supernatural being and the Bible talks about always honoring God. If you live your life honoring God then you are worshiping.
