Something incredible is going on earth today . Human beings admire themselves and look themselves in the mirror a lot and mostly only want and benefit themselves all day all year long . Human beings have become fascinated with themselves and the bible calls this idolatry .
This is as offensive as when Israel used to worship idols and when God deported and sent incredible punishments to them because of their idolatry . Our society is in the same danger os receiving also God's incredible wrath because of self worship . What will we have men worship or God worship Let us find out five reasons why men worship is very dangerous .
1 Men worship Pride is idolatry
When in Hebrews God tells all the angels
And let all the angels of God worship Him . Talking about Jesus is it a rightful thing as Jesus is God . Proskuneo is the word in greek about worship . Proskuneo applies to God the father . Interesting everyime Jesus is worshipped the same word applies .
When John wanted to worship the angel who had showed him incredible futur events and thus wrote the book of revelation . The angel forbade John to worship him . In fact angels spend all their times helping, protecting, and bringing blessings to human beings . Not one day , not one week but during a whole lifetime . Angels worship God and give the glory to God . Men worship is extremely evil, God worship is what we need to do as all things come from God .
RE 19 10 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
And God's character needs to be worship for his greatness, his compassion, his mercy, his intelligence, his power, his kindness, his selfless love, his beauty in creating this incredible planet . And for being the one who created all things . The book of hebrews says
Let all the angels of God worship him . Yes all angels worship Jesus .
Men worship is discusting and repugnant, unacceptable , repulsive for God and for angels to see . Pride and men worship is idolatry . Nothing different to worship Satan or ball or yourself . As you are proud and arrogant you worship yourself, you make yourself an idol and God will not tolerate another God .
2 Men worship Self worship is selfishness and idolatry
Men worship is idolatry as your reasoning powers, your body, your mind is worshipped . You bow down to your ability to reason and you see that much more powerful and important that the bible or God . This is what is happening in society today .
It means that people are blind to their own condition . If you knew who you really are in the eyes of God you would loathe yourself . A pig who is dirty from wallowing in the trash and sewer and garbage does not see himself dirty . Why ? Because all the other pigs are the same . Very dirty and smelly . Most of our society never rebukes the pride, selfishness apathy, unloving spirit .
Thus when someone looks at themselves they say i am pretty good . But comparing themselves with a society that will be destroyed by God is not a good way to see if you are clean or dirty . Compare yourself to God and the bible . Let all the angels of God worship him Hebrews say .There is only one God to worship . You did not create the universe thus you do not deserve to worship yourself .
Did you know that God can allow someone who is proud to not be humbled for a while to see to which point this person will go in arrogance ? Arrogance is being blind to your own condition . Let's face it if you are selfish, proud, apathic and unloving . Instead of bring proud if you would have read the bible you would know you would be very depressed . As your whole body and personality is extremely corrupt and dirty .
And if you would try now to change yourself you would realize that loving, others, being humble, being loving would be very difficult for you to accomplish . Why ? Because our society praises evil, and bad people . Yet being bad is very easy to do . Men worship vs God worship
PR 16 5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
3 Men worship Despysing others is idolatry
Being bad is the natural tendency of the heart . So when society praises those who are evil in fact it is a lie as anyone can be evil anytime . And being good is very hard as nobody can be good unless God gives that person power to do and want to do good . There is nothing dfficult about not loving people it is very easy to do . But people somehow think it is a virtue .
If you do such a thing , especially for no reason you hate someone and do not love them . Even before knowing them you are worthless in the eyes of God . You worship yourself and your judgment . But your judgment is messed up and cannot know right from wrong .
As right and wrong do not come from your reasoning power . The only way you would decide what right and wrong is would be that you created the universe . And it is not the case Men worship is idolatry as Satanic worship , there is no difference God worship is the reason why you are on earth .
2 CO 10 18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
4 Men worship Rejecting truth is self idolatry
Men worship is so widespread now that human think they can decide what truth is . They think they are God . Do not wonder if you see many calamities in many places of the world . This is like slapping and punching God in the face . Doing such a thing is very offensive . Men worship will never succeed . There is one God and you cannot as a creature say you are God . Do not do such a thing it will not go well with you .
Why not give God the glory , for your physique, your business your finances, your social skills, your friend and all you have ? Why be proud when all things come from God and unless God allows it , nothing comes into your life ?
Let all the angels of God worship Him says hebrews 1 6 God deserves worship . Humans receive all things from God . Even your breathe , your organs working, the air, the sunshine comes from God . Why not realize this and give God the glory for all things ?
5 Men worship Worshiping yourself is as bad as worshiping Satan
We are in a society filled with people who are proud and arrogant and worship themselves . Many are believers, christians or ateists it does not matter. What matters is that in the eyes of God you are an idolater . Nothing different than when Israel worshipped false gods . Many times God had to deport them, or send plagues, or lions or famine . Do you think that for God to send those incredible plagues God was angry ? Men worship is satanic
Do you think that men worship is so offensive to God that God can do the same today? Yes Romans 1 and 2 Timothy 3 says the same thing . It says that in our days many people will be filled with pride, and self importance which is lying , stealing, deception and robbing God from the glory that belongs tio Him .
2 TI 3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
All people are either influenced by satan or by God. There is no middle ground . Nobody is neutral . The things you do and watch , the people you meet . Make you to be on God's side or satan's side . What would keep you now to realize that all things come from God .
That God can humble you to the dust and that your pride and ability very likely can come from either God or evil spirits in your mind . And you think this ability is from you . Yet God can remove evil spirits who give you abilities . Men worship will be punished repent now
Why not realize that all things come from God and stop robbing God of his glory and lying into saying i did it when God does all things through us . Repeat after me Father God firgive my sins help me to walk with you everyday Give me the righteousness of Jesus, help me walk in all the truth in the name of Jesus amen
