THE PERMEATING ATMOSPHERE WILL BE THAT OF WORSHIP (SERVICE)

THE PERMEATING ATMOSPHERE OF WORSHIP WILL CHARACTERIZE ALL ACTIVITY

"And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve (worship) him:" Rev. 22:3

The limitations to worship in serve will be removed in the eternal state. There will be no more curse.
Though much of the curse was removed during the millennium. It was not all removed. The bitterness of toil and misunderstanding and the shortness of life placed certain limitations upon men to give their best in service or worship. But this will all be removed during the eternal state.
The real incentive for service and worship will be the presence of the throne of God and the Lamb.

At the center of all life will be God's throne in perfect control of all facts of life. And the Lamb is the central feature revealed in that throne. His love and grace will elicit the most profound devotion and response.
The very essence of service will be worship of the eternal God revealed in Christ. This was the call of Paul to all Christians while on earth Rom. 12:1  "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (worship)."
NOTE: What is man essentially, for it is in his essential nature that he is in the image of God? Man essentially is spirit, his present body being his probational dwelling place, that through which he receives impressions, and that through which he expresses the fact of his own being. The marginal reading of the Revised Version changes the word "service" into "worship," and therein lies a revelation of the true relation of the spirit of man to his body. Through the medium of the body, the truth concerning the spirit expresses itself. Where the body is presented, it is presented by the spirit, and through this devotion of the body, the spirit expresses its worship. The essential fact in man therefore is his spirit, and it is in spiritual essence that man is made in the image of God. That was the service of Christ Who gave us the meaning of being made in the image and likeness.

It is then that the saved realize their true relationship to God. They are servants (doulos) that is bond slaves. They have been bought with the precious blood of the Lamb. But this is true freedom. For willingly they have turned themselves over to Him. And there is no servant that is freer then the willing servant. All their service then is like that of the priest in the temple. It is worship.

This does not mean that every saint will serving in the temple. But it does mean that every activity they perform in the way of work will take on the quality of worship to the Lamb.
