Why does God demand, seek, or request that we worship Him?

Answer

As the Lord Jesus conversed with a Samaritan woman whom He encountered at Jacob’s well, He tells her something about God the Father: “A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks” «But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. », (John 4:23). Jesus’ statement here raises some questions:

• Why does God seek people to worship Him?

• Does He need something from humans to boost His self-esteem? Does He seek emotional support from us?

• Does He require human acknowledgment and worship to assist Him in some way?
