“speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord.” Singing together is another way that we sharpen one another, even “as iron sharpens iron.”
Singing is an instrument of God given to creation for our benefit. By singing, we show how we are set apart from the rest of God’s creatures, as those made in His image who can communicate in such a way. It is unique to mankind and it carries with it unique benefits.
In the church, singing has a particular function. Colossians 3:16 says we are to be “teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
