Does God want us to worship him?

God is an infinite, perfect, communion of persons, responsible for the intentional creation of everything around us – which begs the question, if God is perfect, why does he need us to worship him? God doesn’t need us to worship him because there is nothing he lacks.

Is it true that God Cannot worship himself?

However, worship is usually seen as a thing done by created things toward God, and God is not created but creator, and therefore God cannot be said to worship himself. If by worship you mean a thing which transforms the worshiper into a state of holiness, then, because God does not change, God does not worship.

Does God worship himself?

God can worship Himself if He chooses to, or He can cause any thing He has created to worship Him if we humans decide not to. God made all things (including man) for His pleasure. Note the phrase carefully: “for His pleasure.” That means we bring God pleasure any time He sees us (the works of His hands).

Why doesn’t God force himself upon us?

God’s decision to not force himself upon us is a display of the free will (to accept or reject him) which he has granted us. God makes his existence very apparent, but keeps a low profile so that we can easily choose to reject him if we wish. He chooses not to force himself upon us because he does not want us to be his puppets.

Does God have the right to impose his will on US?

But while God certainly has the “right” to impose his will on us by force, he doesn’t. God’s kingdom operates on a fundamentally different ethic than the kingdoms of the world. Instead of a foundation of force, coercion and violence, God operates off of a foundation of love.

Why do I want to believe God?

God wants to give me victory over my sin, which is the source of all unhappiness and suffering, and ultimately free the whole earth from sin. In everything that God allows to happen, He is reaching out to try and bring us closer to Him, also in situations where it can seem otherwise pointless or even tragic. Why should I want to believe God?

Does God compel us to follow his word?

Ultimately, God allows all of his children to live free. He offers us his Word, but he does not compel us to follow it. Sure, we will suffer the natural consequences of disobedience. Nevertheless, God allows us to make the choice.
