Early
in the Genesis record God communed with his human creation. He communicated with both man (Adam) and woman
(Eve). God communicated with his human
creation not because He had to walk and talk with them in the garden, but
because He desired to have fellowship with them. It seems to me that they did not even
slightly realize the significance or importance of this divine-human connection
established by God himself. In the
garden god could have sent one of His angles to communicate God’s message to
them.
I
believe that God’s establishment of divine-human communion is of great import
to our worship of the Trinity. Elohim,
God in plurality, desired and desires to communicate with both men and women in
this life. Worship communication, both
public and private, corporate and individual, is a God thing. Although we marvel that Adam and Eve
transgressed and broke off that wonderful communication of the Garden of Eden,
many people repeat history and transgress Gods law and precepts and therefore
break off that wonderful communion between god and mankind.
Many
Christians who remain mute when the body of Christ is musicing, are refusing to
commune with God. Although these
Christians do not mean there silence as a form of rebellion against a God
established communion, their silence is without a refusal to commune with
God. Since the Bible is fraught with
references to the necessity of communing with god through music, it is the
responsibility of every music minister to catechize the congregation on the
significance and importance of musicing together unto God.
