Creation and Redemption Part 3

Continuing with the theme of creation and redemption brings me to the final book of the Bible.  In Revelation 4 we have a scene of worship around the throne in Heaven but the basis of that worship is creation. “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”  Revelation 4:11
When you turn to the next chapter you read, “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.  You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”  Revelation 5:9 - 10  We see the parallel themes of creation and redemption in our worship.  We are called to worship our God because He is both our Creator and our Redeemer.  It is not enough to worship Him because He made us though that is where we must start.  We worship Him because He has redeemed us.
