I see so many people who love God yet do not worship Him. Do you not have to worship Him or do these people not really love Him? (When I say worship, I don't mean just singing at Church.)

I am sorry but I have to answer your question with another question. If you Loved God 100% why would you not want to worship him and thank him for all the things he does for us, not even including the fact that he allowed his son to die on the cross just so that we could have everlasting life. He does not ask us to be crucified on a cross or to suffer to be a part of his family. only to love him with all your heart.

You show a very perceptive mind, but to answer your question "Yes" If you love God then you will worship him. Why, because it is what you were created to do. Also that is what you truly want to do if you love Him, Jesus said that we must love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and to love our neighbor as ourself. This is the greatest commandment. So to Love God is to worship Him with all of your heart, mind soul and strength to worship Him is to show that you love your neighbor by sharing the same Love of God that He has given you and cleansed your heart by faith.
Secondly, to those who "say" they love God but do not worship Him, do not truly love Him, for to love Him is to serve Him, and if one doesn't worship Him, then by that very action says he is a liar and there is no truth in him or her.
Yes, worship is more than singing at church or even going to church. Yet that is where we "corporately worship God" together with like believers. Worship is as you say an activity that is something we do and show 24/7. We witness to people who we are truly worshipping in Spirit and in Truth, by what we do everyday every minute of everyday, and what we speak to those around us - if some one was watching you or I - who would they say we worshipped by what we said and did?
excellent question by the way!

If you truly love God, than you will want to worship Him. It won't be like a chore or task. You'll try your best to live a life pleasing to Him. Also, just because people go to Church and sing in the choir doesn't mean they love God or that they're Christians. The devil believes in God, but that doesn't make him a Christian. I hope this helps.

In the bible it says to worship and pray behind closed doors... that it is not a show you are putting on for everyone to see, it is a relationship with God. God wants you at your rawest, when you are not worried about what anyone else will think. So they may do it and just not feel like they need to share with you. Also someone telling you that they love God in the first place, and not denouncing him, is worship!

What exactly do you mean by worship? Your idea of worship may be different than mine. I would think that you worship God in any way that you can and as time allows. Good Luck! :)

Yes, always has, for only God is Worthy
Psa 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
I worship Him in all I do, every day
in my action
my dress
my daily walk
in what is do and in what is don't do.

To worship your Lord is to give him all the glory Honor and praise . For those who say they love the Lord and do nothing this shows a rather shallow love does it not ? We are instructed to Love the Lord with all our heart soul and might.
