WORSHIP IS NOT A DUTY BUT A HEARTFELTRESPONSE TO GOD'S GOODNESS.
"Let's set the record straight! Contrary to what many preachers say, God didn't create us solely to worship Him. In fact, Jesus said God is seeking those who worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24), implying a voluntary response to His goodness, not a forced obligation. If you read that scripture in different Bible versions you will surely understand what am saying here.
If God wanted mandatory worship, He has countless angels in heaven who could do that. But instead, He created us with a primary role and mandate to rule, subdue, and dominate the earth (Genesis 1:28), extending His dominion through us as His ambassadors. We were given the freedom to choose, which unfortunately led to disobedience.
Our primary purpose on earth is to fulfill God's original mandate, and as we acknowledge His mightiness in our lives, worship becomes a natural, automatic response. It's not a duty, but a heartfelt expression of appreciation.
