The 2nd commandment is about "How" we worship. 1. THE PROTECTION OF WORSHIP. Israel is commanded to eliminate all remnants and reminders of idolatrous worship. They are also to establish a central place of worship. All these protect the corporateworship of YHWH. 2. THE POSTURE OF WORSHIP. Unlike the abominable and cruel worship acts of Canaanites, Israel is to worship withrejoicing. They rejoice because they know God is the one who has delivered them fromslavery into the abundant Promised land. And out of that joy, they give and sacrifice. True worship is gospel- and grace- centered. Out of gratitude for Jesus and His love,we rejoice and present ourselves a living sacrifice. 3. THE PRIORITY OF WORSHIP. The chapter opens and closes with a call to be careful to do all that is commanded. Also, when we see the kings of Israel, the KPI (Key Performance Index) seems to betheir allegiance to true worship.
