Secondly, one&#039;s response is not active but passive since the worshiper is in the truth, Logos, and, through the Holy Spirit, worships the Father. This means that one&#039;s response to the triune God is also initiated by the triune God himself.

Thirdly, accordingly, worship is not to be understood as something affective or magical, manipulated by the human side. In the former, worship becomes not a response to the triune God but corporate self-arousal or mutual entertainment while in the latter, worship is conducted by following prescribed rites in order to achieve supernatural control.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worship: From the Triune God back to the Triune God Andres S.
