Knowing God - He Deserves TRUE Worship


Matt 4:10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.


Jesus rebuked the devil and quoted this verse to him.  Jesus authoritatively states that’s the Lord our God is to be worshiped and served.  True worship produces service.  When we love something we have some sort of relationship with it.  If we love ice cream, we eat it, unless a lactose problem exists!  If we love exercising we go and do it.  If we love shopping, we go shopping.   These are trite things and the love we have towards these things is a completely different ‘love’ than the loving worship we are to have for the Lord our God.  Jesus declares to Satan that He will not meet Satan’s challenges or leading because that would be worshiping Satan.  He declares that worship resulting in service is for the Lord our God only.   Lord, we worship You and desire our actions to reflect our worship and devotion to You and You alone!
