Bible Question:
I understand God created man for fellowship with,and too, worship him. Is that said chapter and verse in the bible? Maybe more than one? As my son says "I wooked and I wooked, but I couldn't find it!" I believe it's there but have had not been able to locate it. Help I need it for my small group meeting? Thanks! |
Bible Answer: Al - there are a couple of things we need to consider here. 1-understanfding that God will not force himself upon man. though He created us for many things, one of them worship, God will not make us worship. it has to come from our love for God Himself. That Love is called Agapeo love. 2-So, aside from man's free will this Jesus said to the samaritan woman: John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
