God is Worthy

Our God is worthy.

To be worthy means to be assign the matching value to something. It’s like balancing something out on a scale. When God is on one side of a scale, it takes a lot on the other side to balance it out. God is worthy of a lot, because he is infinitely valuable.

God is worthy of all of this because of who he is.

God is all powerful. He is the strongest Spirit in the universe. He is stronger than any angel, demon, or person.

God is worthy because he has the most powerful name. Every name is weaker than the name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-11). Someday, all will bow down before our God. Let’s bow down to him now. We don’t need to wait until we stand before his throne in judgment before bowing down to him.

God is eternal, and he has no beginning and no end. 

God is worthy not only because of who he is, but also because of what he has done.

God will judge the world. Everything that is according to God’s word will endure, and everything not according to God will be destroyed. This makes God worthy of our full attention.
