Why should we worship God?

Question

When God doesn’t require the worship of anybody, why should we worship Him? He is needless and all are dependent on Him. If God needs our worship, then it is not agreeable to His divinity and Godhood is it not?

Now its answer can be given in two ways: one in brief and the other in detail.

The brief answer is that when the purpose of this worship is to fulfill the needs of Allah and by obeying Him we give some benefit to Him, then the question arises that Allah is unlimited and away from all defects and needs; then what is the need for our worship, but the purpose of worshipping Him would be to elevate ourselves, then the worship would be a means to elevate ourselves and for goodness and favor and guidance from God to make us reach perfection through worship.

Answer 1

He does not require worship. When you know God you want to worship him.

Answer 2

Yes. God never wants the worship or offering or flowers of any one.One must know that religion is a creation of man for his own satisfaction.He thinks or imagines that god will be pleased with all that rubbish that he does.Most of the rituals and so called worship etc are created by the priestly cult for perpetuating their control over the people as well as for money spinning.

Answer 3

God DOES require us to worship Him! Where have you been? Have you read the Bible? His word?

It is a sacrifice of PRAISE He wants from us- to worship him in Spirit and truth! For he deserves all the praise and Glory~

Matthew 21:16
"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, " 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise' ?"

Hebrews 13:15
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name.

John 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

John 4:24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

-And we praise HIM because he has set us free from sin and hell! HE has redeemed us by his blood, on the cross, and he rose again and defeated death just as he promised! And we who believe can only sing praise and give glory to Him because we are so thankful and greatful for what HE has done! It should of been us on that cross- for we have all sinned against God, and yet Jesus without sin took our punishment so we could be set free- and when you believe that and repent of sin- putting your faith in Him, you are set free, given a new heart and sealed with the Holy Spirit---and all you want to do is praise His name! For he fills you with an overflowing JOY, no one can express~

Answer 4

Every prediction the scripture has said would happen, has happened, why would the end be any different. It is by the grace of God that we are even here, so if you take Him lightly, you better get with the program or you're going to be on the hurting end. It's kind of funny how people say they don't believe in God, but when something drastic and sudden happens in their life, they say, "Oh my God!" To answer your question, God does require our worship of Him, the 4th commandment is, "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy"! He is not asking us to, He is commanding us to.

Answer 5

He needs nothing.He has everything even us,our money our lives We can't take anything with us when we leave here. But we owe him for life it self. Why not praise and worship him. It's the least we can do.He does not require worship. He gives us free will. He wants us to give him praise freely. Or it does not mean a thing.

Answer 6

God does not require our worship or He would not be God. However, we are not so lucky. We need Him. He is our Father. He created us. He loves us. He asks us to worship Him because He knows human nature better than any of us could ever hope to understand. In order for us to become all that He desires of us He knows that we must learn to have faith in Him and in return, those who truly put their faith in God and follow His will and precepts are the only ones who can achieve all that God offers to us.

He loves you. He created you. He does not need you as much as you need Him. His need for you is that of a loving parent who desires only the best for his child.

Answer 7

Actually He has never ever asked to be worshipped or to be praised; Its we humans, who, out of ignorance & fear , turn to him in our hour of need; and if we come out of the situation in a satisfactory manner, then we ''praise'' Him o/wise we say that god does not exist or it was my fate/badluck etc.
But if we pray to him just as a means to ''communicate'' with our Creator, then i think that we might not become so fanatic so as to cause so much turbulence & violence that we see in our society today.
By communicating with him, we see the ''brotherhood'' in every individual & so can live in peace & harmony together on this planet.
Maybe this is the essence of ''worship'' to god.

Answer 8

If you believe then you worship.
You worship him by doing GOOD, by helping others, NOT in a church, NOT by praying endlessly locked away.
Everything else is hypocrisy.
Those that worship but don't do any good to the others are moving away from God.
GOD IS LOVE and not hate.
GOD FORGIVES and does not revenge.

Answer 9

God wants mankind to worship what is true, holy, all-powerful, all-knowing, the most loveing,faithful, compassionate,etc.To worship anything less is to lead to errors in our thinking about God. Since only God is all these things, he wants us to ponder and worship Him. Essentially it benefits us more than him.

Answer 10

I think it is more mankinds deep need to worship God and become closer to divinity rather than God needing us to worship him.
We have been separated from God and deep down inside we need to return to God. In our lifetime the best way to do this is by worship and prayer.
Do not confuse who is helping whom here.
We benefit by worshipping God not vice versa.
