God's Great Purpose

God's ultimate purpose for humanity is to worship Him, not just to serve Him or follow rules, but to love and adore Him for who He is. This purpose is evident in the biblical view of worship, where God desires a personal, unconditional love from His people. The penalty for not fulfilling this purpose is idolatry and a life of sin. On the other hand, worship releases and liberates, energizes, and brings people together in a shared devotion to God.
