Worship God or Not?

Season of Lenten is so special for us humans. For a week, we reminisce and recall in many ways the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ hath done for us, not because it’s His duty, but because He loves us so much.

It’s nice to know that we have a good God, a Father who always stays on our side, though most of the time we broke His heart by committing sins, and transgressing His commandments. Knowing that our nature as a human is sinner, He still let us live in this earth, and most touchingly, He sent His only Son to die on the cross of Calvary, to redeem us from all unrighteousness. So the question is, was it a valid reason now for us to worship God? Our answers may vary, but let me share to you some great things about worshiping God.
