WORSHIP THAT GOD APPROVES

God deeply cares for us and wants us to benefits from is loving direction. If we worship in a right way, we will be happy and will avoid many problem in life. We will also have his blessing and his help. (Isaiah 48:17) There are, however, hundred of religions that claim to teach the truth about God. Yet, they differ greatly in teachings about who God is and what he expect of us.


How can you know the right way to worship God? You do not have to study and compare the teachings of all many religions. You need only to learn only what the bible really teaches about true worship. To illustrate: in many hands, there is a problem with counterfeit money. If you given the job to picking out such false money, how would you go about it? By memorizing every king of counterfeit? No. your time will be better spent if you study real money. After you knew what real money look like, you could recognize a counterfeit. Similarly, when we learn how to identify the true religion, we can recognize those religions that are false.

It is important that we worships God in the ways that He approves. Many people believe that all religions are pleasing to God, but the bible does not teach that. It is not even enough to claim to be a Christian. Jesus said: “ Not saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my father who is in heavens will.” To have God’s approval, therefore, we must learn what God requires of us and do it. Jesus called those who do not do God’s will “workers of lawlessness.” (Mathew 7:21-23) Like counterfeit money, false religion has no real value. Even worse, such religion is actually harmful.

God gives everyone on earth the opportunity to gain everlasting life. To have eternal life in Paradise, however, we must worship God properly and live now in a way that is acceptable to Him. Sadly, many refuse to do so. That is why Jesus said: “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and that is why He is giving people everywhere an opportunity to learn about Him. (2 peter 3:9) Really, then, the way we worship God means life or death for us.
