How can Revelation 5:9 inspire our worship and gratitude towards Jesus? A Throne-Room Song That Shapes Our Praise “And they sang a new song: ‘Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.’ ” Four Truths in the Verse That Ignite Worship and Gratitude • Worthy are You – Jesus alone is qualified to direct history (Philippians 2:9-11). – Gratitude swells when we remember the One guiding creation also guides us. • Because You were slain – Heaven centers praise on the cross (John 1:29). – Worship deepens as we linger at Calvary, marveling at the Lamb’s sacrifice. • By Your blood You purchased for God – Redemption is paid in full (Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19). – Gratitude grows when we see ourselves as Christ’s joyful possession. • From every tribe and tongue and people and nation – The gospel’s reach is global (Galatians 3:28). – Worship becomes richer when we echo heaven’s diverse choir. Practical Ways to Let the Verse Shape Today’s Worship • Sing a new song—fresh praise grounded in timeless truth (Psalm 96:1). • Keep “You were slain” central in songs, sermons, and personal devotions. • Thank Jesus specifically for purchasing you; surrender areas of life now His. • Celebrate global testimonies; support missions that gather more voices into the song. Scriptures That Echo the Same Melody • Revelation 1:5-6 — loved and freed by His blood. • Hebrews 10:19 — bold access through His blood. • Colossians 1:13-14 — delivered and transferred to His kingdom. • Psalm 40:3 — a new song placed in our mouths. Living the Song Throughout the Week • Begin each day declaring, “Worthy are You,” before making any request. • Memorize Revelation 5:9; let its phrases renew your mind during routine tasks. • Bridge cultural divides, reflecting the multi-ethnic choir Christ purchased. • Answer guilt or discouragement with the settled fact: “By Your blood You purchased for God…” May this heavenly song turn every moment into grateful, wholehearted worship of the Lamb who is forever worthy. |
