Worship
the Creator Not the Created—part 2
Genesis
1:1
states that “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Colossians 1:16 tells us “For by him
were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:” Hebrews 2:10-12 further explains why we music unto God when it
says, “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are
sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them
brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the
church will I sing praise unto thee.” Verses 16-18 continues, “For verily he took not on him the nature of
angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it
behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful
high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of
the people. For in that he himself hath
suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.” Hebrews 4:14-16 caps it all off with
these words, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into
the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have
not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us
therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and
find grace to help in time of need.”
