Adoration
Adoration is intense reverence and worship expressed in praise, prayer, kneeling, prostration, uplifted hands, or other acts of homage. Scripture directs true adoration to God and, in the New Testament, to Jesus Christ.
Biblical Usage
Biblical adoration includes standing, kneeling, falling on the face, lifting or spreading out the hands, and kissing as an act of homage. Worship of idols and material objects is condemned, while the New Testament presents Christ as receiving homage associated with divine adoration.
