How and What We Worship

Doctrine and Covenants section 93:19 says "I give you these sayings that you may understand and know how to worship, and know what your worship." So what does section 93 teach us about how to worship and what we worship? Here's what I found...

How to worship:

• Forsake our sins (v. 1)
• Come unto Him (v. 1)
• Call on His name (v. 1)
• Obey His voice (v. 1)
• Keep His commandments (v. 1)
• Continue to progress from "grace to grace" (v. 13)
• Teach light and truth (v. 40)
• Set in order our homes (v. 43, 44)
• Be diligent and concerned at home (v. 50)
• Proclaim the gospel of salvation (v. 51)
• Obtain a knowledge of history, countries, kingdoms, and the laws of God and man (v. 53)

What we worship: 

• Jesus Christ is the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world (v. 2)
• Jesus Christ is one with the Father (v. 3)
• Jesus Christ is the Word, even the messenger of salvation (v. 8)
• Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of the world (v. 9)
• Jesus Christ is the Spirit of truth (v. 9, 11, 26)
• Jesus Christ is the creator of worlds, mankind, and all things (v. 10)
• Jesus Christ condescended from heaven to dwell among us (v. 11)
• Jesus Christ is called the Son of God (v. 14)
• Jesus Christ is the Firstborn (v. 21)
• Jesus Christ has received a fulness of truth, yea, even of all truth (v. 26)

At the end of 93:19 there is a promise given to those who know how to worship and what they worship. The promise is "that you may come unto the Father in my name, and in due time receive of his fulness." If Jesus Christ has already received His fulness, (v. 26) that means we are promised that we have the potential to someday be like our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Just like Christ had to grow into His fulness "grace for grace" (v. 12-13) we also have been given the capability to do the same. Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52) As we follow the example of our Savior and grow into our fulness the same way Christ did, then we are promised that we will be like Him someday. So cool!
