Own your Relation to God

Adoration 1.13 | NIV

I must declare this God to be my God and own my relation to him, his dominion over me, and propriety in me.

I said to the LORD, “You are my God; apart from you I have no good thing; Psalm 16:2(NIV) even if I am righteous, what do I give to you?” Job 35:7(NIV)

You are my King and my God: Psalm 44:4(NIV) Other lords besides you have ruled over me, but from henceforth your name alone do I honor. Isaiah 26:13(NIV)

I declare this day that the LORD is my God and that I will walk in his ways, that I will keep his decrees, commands, and laws, and that I will obey him and give myself to him, to be of his people, of his treasured possession as he has promised, that I may be of a people holy to the LORD my God; Deuteronomy 26:17-19(NIV) and may be to him for his renown and praise and honor. Jeremiah 13:11(NIV)

O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, born in your house, and you have freed me from my chains: Psalm 116:16(NIV) I have been bought at a price, and therefore I am not my own; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20(NIV) and so I submit to the Lord, 2 Chronicles 30:8(NIV) and bind myself to him in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten. Jeremiah 50:5(NIV)

Save me, for I am yours; I have sought out your precepts; Psalm 119:94(NIV) it is your own, Lord, that I give you, and that which comes from your hand. 1 Chronicles 29:16(NIV)

Give Honor to the Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Adoration 1.11 | NIV

We must give honor to the three persons in the Godhead distinctly, to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that great and sacred Name into which we were baptized and in which we assemble for religious worship, in communion with the universal church.

I pay my homage to three that testify in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; for these three are one. 1 John 5:7(KJV)

I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, Matthew 11:25(NIV) and the eternal Word, who was with God in the beginning and was God, through whom all things were made; without whom nothing was made that has been made; John 1:1-3(NIV) and who, when the time had fully come, Galatians 4:4(NIV) became flesh and made his dwelling among us and showed his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14(NIV)

And since it is the will of God that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father, John 5:23(NIV) I adore him as the radiance of his Father’s glory and the exact representation of his being; Hebrews 1:3(NIV) herein joining with the angels of God, who were all bidden to worship him. Hebrews 1:6(NIV)

I pay homage to the exalted Redeemer, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth, Revelation 1:5(NIV) confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:11(NIV)

I also worship the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, whom the Son has sent from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, John 15:26(NIV) and who is sent to teach me all things and to remind me of everything; John 14:26(NIV) who indited the Scriptures, holy men of God writing them as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21(NIV)

I adore You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, Matthew 11:25(NASB) and the eternal Word, who was in the beginning with God and was God, through whom all things came into being, and apart from whom nothing came into being that has come into being; John 1:1-3(NASB) and who in the fullness of time, Galatians 4:4(NASB) became flesh and dwelt among us and showed His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14(NASB)

And since it is the will of God that all should honor the Son even as they honor the Father, John 5:23(NASB) I adore Him as the radiance of His Father’s glory and the exact representation of His nature; Hebrews 1:3(NASB) herein joining with the angels of God, who were all bidden to worship him. Hebrews 1:6(NASB)

I also worship the Holy Spirit, the Helper, whom the Son has sent from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, John 15:26(NASB) and who is sent to teach me all things and to bring to my remembrance all things; John 14:26(NASB) who indited the Scriptures, holy men of God writing them as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21(NASB)
