Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. Acts 17:23-25
A.W. Tozer wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us… Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God.” Let us therefore think rightly about God.
The God of the Bible, is the one and only true and living God (all other gods are false gods). (Jeremiah 10:10, Psalm 115:4-8)
He is the Creator of everything (but Himself) that exists. Everything. (Colossians 1:16)
He is eternally self-existent, meaning He was not created by any other, nor did He create Himself, since for that to have happened, He would have had to exist before He existed, which is impossible. Therefore God always has been, is, and ever will be. (1 Timothy 6:16)
Everything other than the eternally self-existent God owes its very being to God, who created all things. (Revelation 4:11)
Of all things created, human beings are unique in that we are the only beings created in the image and likeness of God Himself. (Genesis 1:26-27)
The Creator-creature distinction is vitally important. When that is blurred or forgotten, the creature (specifically human beings) will inevitably think themselves to be gods. This is a grave error and is blasphemy.
All creatures exist by God’s will and for God’s pleasure. (Revelation 4:11)
All creatures, but human beings in particular, are obligated to worship and obey God. (Isaiah 43:21, 1 Corinthians 8:6)
