John 4:24
King James Version
24 God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth.
How to worship GOD?
Worship Him alone.
Have no other gods, for only GOD is GOD.
TRUE disciples worship GOD alone.
Even GOD's angels do not want to be worshiped.
Revelation 19:10
King James Version
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.
Angels are created beings.
Genesis 2:1
King James Version
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
and all the host of them.
See "HOST of HEAVEN".
EVERYTHING, in heaven and on earth, were CREATED by GOD.
Genesis 1:1
King James Version
1 In the beginning
God created the heaven
and the earth.
THROUGH His WORD.
John 1:1-3
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Only GOD deserves worship.
JESUS made sure we understood that.
Mark 12:29-30
King James Version
29 And Jesus answered him,
The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel;
The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment.
Moses reminds us of that, too:
Deuteronomy 4:15-19
King James Version
15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves;
for ye saw no manner of similitude
on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb
out of the midst of the fire:
16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves,
and make you a graven image,
the similitude of any figure,
the likeness of male or female,
17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth,
the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground,
the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven,
and when thou seest the sun,
and the moon,
and the stars,
even all the host of heaven,
shouldest be driven to worship them,
and serve them,
which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations
under the whole heaven.
