Ezekiel 36: 22- 23
"Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes."
sounds like God is selfish aye...thinking only about his glory ot for everyone elses' glory!!! Why should he cares about everyone elses' glory though??? who else cares about glorifiying their name...animals/plants??? certainly not...so im refering everyone elses here as us, yes as u and me...
so why should God cares about our pride/ name??? he created us so basically he own us and therefore he is worthy to be glorified by us.
Let me put it this way, if i created something that is alive and can talk, i centainly want my creation to glorify me and tell other ppl about me who created it so that ppl will think im smart or something like that by being able to create things like that...wouldnt u feel the same???
is that mean that we are selfish??? yes we are selfish definitely because God created us but we want ppl to glorify our name instead of our creator's name...
Why is God worthy of our praise???
1. he created us
2. he has the power that we do not have (forgiving ppl like u and me from their sin)
So, is God selfish??? totally not!!! but rather he deserves our praise...
