In Daniel 3, Nebuchadnezzar builds an idol and commands his followers to bow down to worship. When the music sounds, you bow down. Or you get thrown into the fiery furnace.
In Revelation 13, the false prophet makes the inhabitants of the earth worship the Antichrist. Any who refuse to worship the Antichrist will be slain by the false prophet.
Isn't that interesting that the false gods have to force people to worship them? Threaten them with their lives even?
They are not worthy of worship, so they have to force people to bow down to them.
The God of heavens is worthy of worship. People have not been and never will be forced to worship Him. They just do.
As a person learns who God is, the only response is to fall in worship. Not by force, but by choice.
I'd rather serve a God who is worthy to be worshiped than a god who has to make his subjects worship him.
Wouldn't you?
