The Right Way to Worship God - WHAT WILL YOU DO?

It's not enough just to believe God exists. Even the demons believe God exists, but they don't obey him.  (James 2:19) If we want God to accept our worship, we must not only believe he exists but also do what he says. 

 For God to accept our worship , we must reject false religion. The prophet Isaiah wrote:  "Get out from the midst of her, keep yourselves clean." (Isaiah 52:11;  2 Corinthians 6:17)  That is why need to reject anything that has to do with false worship.

What is false religion?  It is any religion that teaches us to worship God in a way that is against his Word. The Bible calls false religion "Babylon the Great." (Revelation 17:5)  Why? After the Flood of Noah's day, many false religious teachings spread all over the earth.  For example, the people living in Babylon worshipped groups of three gods. Today, too, many religions teach that God is a Trinity, but the Bible clearly teaches that there is only one true God, Jehovah, and that Jesus is his Son.  (John 17:3)  People living in Babylon also believed that part of a person continues living after the body dies and that that part can suffer in hell.  That is not true.
