   Why is praise important in the Bible?

   • Praise is among the major themes of Scripture, such as God, man, sin, and the work of redemption. Surprisingly praise in the OT arose out of a religion and a nation under almost constant stress. Praise is also prominent in the NT, in spite of frequent persecution, for example, in Paul’s letter to the Philippians, which was written in prison.

   Why do people say Praise in song?

   • The glory and majesty of God and all His works are to fill men’s hearts and find expression in their word and witness. This becomes so overpowering to a man’s mind and heart that he must break out in some utterance. Frequently, poetry is demanded—more frequently, song. Thus words of praise are expressed over and over again in song.

   Does praising God make a person more loving?

   • The very act of praising God in obedience to the requirement to praise may create the emotion that befits true praise. This is akin to the commands of Scripture to love. It is in the act of loving that a person “feels” more loving. A “dryness” in desire to praise God may call for obedience to the command to praise.
