How are we to worship God?

[JM3]

Is there a point to this line of questioning?

To learn what worship truly is and what it is not.

OP is playing the sophist and I’m not sure why.

No deception is intended. I’m just trying to learn.

People will worship God in different ways

What are those ways and what makes them ‘worship’?

No. We worship God by keeping Him in front of us at all times. When we see a street person, we should see Christ. When we see an unmarried pregnant teenager, we should see God. When we see a male coworker coming out of a strip club, we should see God. God does not advocate our sins but loves us despite our sins. He calls us to do the same; love others not because they DON’T sin but despite their sins as He loves us.

If the second greatest commandment is like the first and each one of us is in the image of God, then I would think that loving your neighbor is a form of worshiping (loving) God. How am I wrong in this thought?

We worship God by loving Him with all our soul, heart, mind and strength. I believe we are all sinners here.

To love one another is to express love for God. I agree. But to love one another without keeping God at the forefront of our thought is meaningless. It’s God who puts meaning into loving each other as an expression of love for Him. That’s why the first of Jesus’ simplified commandments is love God with all your body, mind, and soul.

 

[Faithful_Seeker]

Adore God by acknowledging him as the One True God, the Creator, Savior, Lord and Master of every single thing that exists and as merciful and infinite Love.

Worship him by showing your Love in acknowledgement, respect, and absolute submission, recognizing your own nothingness that would not exist without God.

Love God above everything!
Love God by Obeying in His commandments. Serve God Only.
Love and accept yourself as a creation of God. Be humble and love your neighbor as yourself.
Lift up your mind and heart toward God in prayer, praise, thanksgiving, intercession and petition.
Unite ourselves with the suffering Christ offered on the cross.
Trust in Gods holy justice in all things.

***Love God with all your heart, soul and strength, above all else.
