Created to Worship #560

Worship is a big topic within the church. It’s a big consideration outside the church too. Neutrality is a myth. There are not two categories of people, those who worship and those who do not. We all worship someone or something. Athletes are idols and role models for some. Others fawn over their cars. We all have objects of veneration, personal or inanimate.

The Bible points out the basic sin and error. "For they exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen" (Romans 1:25). The lie is that God is either unnecessary or does not exist. We can do perfectly well without Him. The result is not an absence of worship.

The outcome is actually false worship. They "worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator." The consequence is the veneration of objects, ideas, or people, all parts of the creation. We may venerate the preservation of a species or race. We may revere a political agenda. Certain athletes, academics, or politicians may claim our praise and adulation.

The God of the universe is the true object of praise. The Bible identifies Him as the Creator. We exist because of Him. We ought to speak well of Him. We fulfill a purpose for our existence by worshipping Him.
