“The book of Genesis records, among other things, the fall of man into sin and its consequent result of alienation between a perfectly Holy God and totally depraved creatures. Something must take place, therefore, in order to (1) turn the rebellious heart of fallen man back to his original desire to worship God, and (2) appease the wrath of God, lest fallen man, when he approaches God to worship, be consumed in His fiery wrath. Worship, then, according to Genesis may be defined as an approach to almighty God, on the basis of a substitutionary atonement, acknowledging His transcendent excellence and our utter unworthiness, in order to give Him the honor and devotion He alone deserves, as humble servants gladly subjecting themselves in reverence to their Creator.” (Comin, 8)
