The Creator

Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created. (Revelation 4:11 ESV)

 God seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and truth. We who love God and want to please Him should endeavor to worship Him—in spirit and in truth—because He desires this. But how do we worship properly—in spirit and in truth?

 Worshipping God is ascribing proper worth to God; it’s acknowledging, expressing, and honoring His worth.

The basis of God’s worth and thus our worship is found in His nature and character, His attributes, in who He is.
 He is the Creator of all things visible and invisible.
 He is all-powerful, all-knowing, unchangeable, infinite, eternal, present everywhere.
 He is wisdom, truth, faithfulness, goodness, love, mercy, grace, patience, holiness, righteousness, justice, and more.

 While we as beings made in the image and likeness of God possess a small measure of some of these attributes, God is these attributes.

 As the one who created all that exists out of nothing, He is infinitely greater than we are and is therefore worthy to be worshipped. —P. Amsterdam [1]

 When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator. —Mahatma Gandhi
