Chapter 21: Of Religious Worship, and the Sabbath Day

Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and to him alone;1 not to angels, saints, or any other creature:2 and, since the fall, not without a Mediator; nor in the mediation of any other but of Christ alone.3


  1. Matthew 4:10

    Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,

    “‘You shall worship the Lord your God
    and him only shall you serve.’”

    John 5:23

    that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

    2 Corinthians 13:14

    The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (ESV)

  2. Colossians 2:18

    Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,

    Revelation 19:10

    Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

    Romans 1:25

    because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. (ESV)

  3. John 14:6

    Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

    1 Timothy 2:5

    For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

    Ephesians 2:18

    For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

    Colossians 3:17

    And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (ESV)
