Worship Is For Your Sake by donwhit(m): 11:55pm On Jan 12, 2018
you do not worship God for God's sake; you worship God for your own sake. You are not worshiping God because God has a need to be worshiped; your are worshiping because by doing so correctly you overcome all sense of separation from God and come closer to God. However for this to happen your worship must be love-based instead of fear-based.God is not an egomaniac that is obsessed with people worship.
ove. As you begin to love God, you realize that God is a completely self-sufficient, self-contained being. Therefore, God has no human needs and God certainly has no need to be praised or worshiped by human beings. How could an all-powerful God, who created an immensely vast universe, possibly have the need to be worshiped by human beings living on a planet that is like a speck of dust in infinity? I am not saying this to in any way degrade human beings. I am saying it to give a certain sense of co-measurement that God has absolutely no need to be worshiped. God is all, and therefore God is complete in and of itself.

, most earthly rulers have been fear-based individuals, and that is why they attempted to set themselves up with absolute power that allowed them to rule the population through fear. Many secular rulers have based their power on military might and the threat that they would kill people who did not obey them. Many religious rulers have based their power on the fear of God and the threat that those who did not obey would burn forever in hell. Sadly, this even applies to the Christian religion, which claims to represent jesus on earth. Yet didn't jesua say to love God with all your heart mind and lifestream [Mark 12:30]? And so how can you love G
od if you fear God and want everyone else to fear you?
, the outer form of worship is insignificant compared to the inner result of opening your heart and establishing a true connection between yourself and the object of worship. The ultimate form of worship is union with, oneness with, the object of worship. This can be seen when you understand that the original sin is a sense of separation from God.

The only way to be completely free of sin is to overcome the sense a separation from God. And the only way to overcome the sense of separation is to remove the distance between yourself and God. Because God is all and in all, there never was any real separation or distance between you and God. There was only an illusion of separation, and that illusion exists only in your mind. Remember jesus statement, “Ye are Gods.” The ultimate way to worship God in this world is to BE God in this world
