We are commanded in scripture to worship, Honour, Love and adore the Lord Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Father. ....
REVERENCE
Deuteronomy 13:4 It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.
Psalms 22:23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
Hebrews 12:28-29 [28] Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, [29] for our "God is a consuming fire."
Reverence . 1. A feeling of profound awe and respect and often love; veneration. 2. An act showing respect, especially a bow or curtsy. 3. To consider or treat with profound awe and respect; venerate.
When I meditate on God, How Excellent is His Name! How He created us and who is man that He visiteth us? Psalm 8 I am dumbfounded! I am humbled, mystified, greatful, but in all, knowing I am at His feet, worshipping Him in honour and in Truth!
How is it, then, even with all the commands put forth in the precious Word of God, can some claiming to be Christians bring Him down to our level by calling God "daddy", "buddy" or the latest I've heard "boyfriend!" (YIKES!!!) ??
