Why is it important to worship God according to His commands?

Answered in 1 source

Worshiping God according to His commands is crucial because it reflects obedience and reverence for His holiness.

Worshiping God in the manner that He prescribes is a principle deeply embedded in Scripture. Nadab and Abihu's tragic end serves as a stark reminder that approaching God on our terms can lead to dire consequences. When they offered unauthorized sacrifices, they demonstrated a lack of respect for God's holiness and authority. God's command to worship must be taken seriously because He is sovereign, and worship done outside of His instruction is considered profane. This underscores the theological belief that God is to be approached only as He reveals Himself, centering worship on His provisions rather than human preferences.
