What is "Worship"?

Post #1

Generally when the phrase "Worship God" is expressed, the idea of what that means is reflected in the image above.

Is there any underlying agreement which can be identified to answer the question "What is Worship of God?"?

Yes.

Love with all your heart, love with all your mind, love with all your soul, love with all your existence.

That is worship in Spirit and truth.
Love ones idea of the creator in relation to ones existence, is worship? Is that what you are thinking?

Sounds simple enough.
I will make it even more simple for you.
Watch how people and their pets that love each other interact.
That is worship.
My question then has to be. Does (your idea of) God, absolutely love you?
The love of God is absolute in His Word.

The love of God is absolute in His Word.

What then does "His Word" say about His love for you? Is it absolute? Does He absolutely love you?

His love for me is far greater than absolute.
I abide in the WORD and the WORD abides in me.

Exaggerations aside, if indeed Absolute love is equal to/describes the act of worship, your God also worships you.

The only exaggerations I see is your wisdom and understanding.
Why ask me things that are to high for you to obtain or that to which you have never experienced?
It will only lead to your own disappointment and frustrations. To which you have
first hand knowledge. Many things of the living God have to be experienced first hand,
before they can be understood and comprehended in the form of wisdom.
Stop nagging me with you incompetent questions.
