As human beings we were created for one main purpose to
worship the Father! Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the
Lord in the beauty of holiness. —Psalm 29:2, KJV
When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God they chose not to
worship Him. To worship God means to obey, honor, reverence, respect, praise,
and give Him all the glory. The first commandment God gave Moses was to worship
Him and Him alone. God demands worship because He and He alone is worthy of it.
He requests that we acknowledge His greatness, His power and His glory.
Revelation 4:11 tells us, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor
and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were
created.” We were created for this very purpose; to worship.
Isaiah 43:7 says, "Everyone who is called by My name,
whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made
him."
Jesus told us to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul
and mind (Matthew 22:32). This means our heart, soul and mind are to worship
God. Romans 12:1 tell us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service. This means we worship God
with our bodies. Our hands and feet were created for worship.
I realize that many people go to church simple to worship
the Lord, and that is great. But Hebrews 13:15 tells us to offer the sacrifice
of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to
his name. Our lips also were created for worship. We are to worship God with
our whole being. We were created to be instruments of worship.
