Back in Old Testament times, the psalmist calledrejoice and praise God because He takes care of and blesses his people. But when the gospel of salvation came to earth, Christian glorification reached its apogee. It is not a duty, but a need. The Apostle Paul, in a letter to the Corinthian church, says that it is natural for saved people to praise God. To the people who have accepted the salvation suffered by Christ, it is not necessary to explain what Christian glorification is. Having recognized God, it is impossible not to love Him, but if you love him, it is impossible not to glorify. There are a lot of verses in the Bible praising the Lord. You can glorify in word and deed.
Это прежде всего нравственно-чистая богоугодная the life, the experience of God's mercy and love of mind and heart, the rapture of His wisdom and greatness. Orthodox Christians glorify God in prayer, in church worship, as well as their talents and abilities. In a believer, everything: dreams, thoughts, talents and actions - is an expression, a manifestation of God's plan on earth.
Catholics in worship exceptional valuethey give a cult, because they believe that through church sacraments a person directly touches God and accepts grace from Him. The most important sacrament is communion with bread and wine. Like the Orthodox, it is believed that a person gives praise to God not only with his mouth, but also with deeds.
In the center of attention of believers - personal salvation frompunishment for sins, which a person receives not according to merit for good deeds, but solely by faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. Therefore, Christian glorification for them is a joyous exultation and glorification of salvation and a new life in Christ. An overwhelming number of Protestant trends practice worship through popular Christian songs and musical compositions.
Прославление языком нот существует с древнейших times. Biblical psalms are songs that were sung to the music of strings and other instruments. The treasury of world culture includes the greatest examples of sacred music - Russian and Western European: chorals, hymns, masses. Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Haydn, Berlioz, Schubert created in the genre of church music. In the Orthodox chants, the names of Archangel, Chesnokov, Gubaidullina, Grechaninov are well known.
Musical Compositions in ProtestantDivine services from the very beginning were distinguished by improvisation and concert features. And if under the arches of Catholic churches the chants in Latin are flown up, and in the Orthodox churches the angelic liturgical chants are sung in Old Church Slavonic, then according to the idea of the reformer Martin Luther, the entire Protestant community in the native language had to sing the song. Melodies for them were often chosen from the secular repertoire.
