Word of God.  God’s communication to His creatures.  God speaks to humans in several ways.  God communicates His power and majesty through nature, the Natural Word of God.  God communicates His moral will through prophets, who utter the Spoken Word of God.  God communicates His moral will through the Bible, the Written Word of God.  God communicates His great love and essence through His Son, Jesus, the Living Word of God.

Worship.  The act of ascribing to God the true value of His infinite worth.  Since God is infinite and his greatness is beyond comprehension, human worship must necessarily be finite.  When man worships God he stands in humility before Him and offers praise for His powerful and moral attributes.  Worship includes praise, thanksgiving, and sacrifice.  Failure to worship God is an act of human arrogance and disdain.  No worship of God can be overstated.

Wrath of God.  God’s great anger at sin and evil.  God alone understands the deadly nature of sin, defined as departure from God’s will.  The wages of sin is death, which in its deadliest state is eternal separation from God.  God created man in His own likeness and image in order to have eternal fellowship with him.  Sin utterly degrades man’s ability to have any fellowship with God whatever, for God is utterly holy.  Consequently God exhibits fierce and settled anger at sin because it is a relentless carcinogen on man’s soul and body.  In God’s love He has provided in Jesus redemption for man from the pathology of sin and death.  When man rejects God’s only provision for redemption, ultimately man suffers the wrath of God.
