Why Worship God?

Why worship God when the ungodly are rich and happy?

 "Such words are spoken against Me!” says God.

 But you reply, "What did we say against God?" 

 You have said, "it is useless to serve God for what difference does it make if we keep His Laws and live a moral life?  The conceited are happy and the immoral have honor and prominence.  It seems that even those who provoke God are exalted!'"

 But the Lord hears those who love Him and witness about Him to others. The names of those who love and serve Him, and pray to Him are written in His Book of Remembrance.

"They will be My people", says God, "in the day when I return to claim My own.  I will save those who love Me, as a man saves his own son that serves him.  Then the difference between the righteous and the wicked will be discerned, between those who serve God and those who do not."

 The above quotes are from these Bible texts: Malachi 3:13-18

We have an Advocate!

If anyone be in Christ, they are a new creature: old things are passed away, all things have become new.  2 Corinthians 5:17 

And you will be made alive, who were dead in sin. Ephesians 2:1

For the Father has made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.  2 Corinthians 5:21

For this is good and acceptable to God our Savior: Who wants all people to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4

Not by our works of righteousness, but according to His mercy He saved us….  Titus 3:5

 My little children, these things I write to you, that you sin not. And if any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ the righteous.   And He is the sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world!  1 John 2:1-2
