Reason for Worship (vv. 8-10)
Worldly Worship (vv. 11-13)
Godly Worship (vv. 14-18)
Ro. 1:22-23 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Psa. 96:5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
Isa. 45:18 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): I am the Lord, and there is no other).
Col. 1:16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him).
Psa. 19:1-2 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
Ro. 1:20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Ready For Worship?
1. Do I know God? You can only love whom you know well - faith.
2. Do I have affections for God? (1 Jo.). Am I satisfied in him and wish to delight in him - feel?
3. Do I obey God? Beginning with the means of grace (word, prayer and fellowship).
