We Are To Respect God

A son honors his father, And a servant his master. If then I am the Father, Where is My honor? And if I am a Master, Where is My reverence? Says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 1:6)

The prophet Malachi deals with nation of Israel perplexed in sin whose faith in God seemed to be in danger of collapse. Those people were chosen by God out of all other nations, still they left their love for God. Their worship was also not heartfelt which God was not pleased. The moment we trusted Jesus who became divine sacrifice. We became chosen people of God, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession bought with the precious blood of Christ offering up our life as living sacrifice. We worship Him with awe because He brought us out of darkness into marvellous light. We can live such a life of devotion as we daily fellowship with Him through prayer and bible meditation relying not our strength.
