What does Revelation 7:11 mean?

This verse paints a picture of universal worship in heaven. In response to the multitude's declaration that salvation belongs to our sovereign God and the Lamb, all the angels around God's throne and around the elders and the four living creatures (Revelation 4:3–6; 5:9–10) prostrate themselves before God's throne and worship Him. An acknowledgement that God and the Lamb provide salvation to all who believe prompted this group in heaven to worship God.

Worship is the correct response to God's sovereignty and saving grace. When God led the wise men to the place where Jesus was, they fell down and worshiped Him (Matthew 2:11). When Jesus healed a blind man, the man believed on Jesus and worshiped Him (John 9:38). Psalm 95:6 says: "Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!" Psalm 99:5 commands: "Exalt the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!"
