\u201cBe still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 100:3<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.<\/p>\n

Psalms 95:3<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 4:35<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides him.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 4:39<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.<\/p>\n

John 17:3<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.<\/p>\n

Acts 17:23-24<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: \u2018To the unknown god.\u2019 What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.\u00a0\u00a0The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,<\/p>\n

2 Corinthians 4:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For God, who said, \u201cLet light shine out of darkness,\u201d has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Galatians 4:8-9<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.\u00a0\u00a0But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?<\/p>\n

From John Gill’s exposition:<\/p>\n

if the Lord has made us, and not we ourselves, then we are not our own, but his, and ought to serve and glorify him: we are his by creation; “we are also his offspring”,\u00a0we are his people;\u00a0by choice and covenant; by his Father’s gift, and his own purchase; and by the power of his grace, bringing to a voluntary surrender and subjection to him; even the Gentiles particularly, who were not his people, but now his people,\u00a0and the sheep of his pasture;\u00a0his sheep also by gift and purchase, called by him, made to know his voice, and follow him; for whom he provides pasture, leads to it, and feeds them with it himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
