God v.s. Idols

This is a very important subject. Do you know what an idol is? Or how does God feel about them? This is very clear to understand.

Exodus 20:4-5 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me"

An idol is something we make and then chose to bow down or worship. God said these people would be punished for their sin; they did not love God. So is there really anything people make and then bow down to and worship? Let's see...

All of these things are considered idols in the eyes of God. Though he said we should not bow down or worship, many people disregard his word and bown down to these lifeless things. The bible testifies to them in this way.

Romans 1:25 "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen."

And in Micah he says,

Micah 5:13 "I will destroy your carved images and your sacred stones from among you; you will no longer bow down to the work of your hands."

Let us worship our true God Elohim and not anything that we, ourselves, have created. Thanks to Father and Mother, we now know how to worship God...with NO IDOLS!
