Rev 4:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11 : The elders say, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power” (Revelation 4:11 ). They do not say, “We give you glory,” because no one can really give anything to God. Instead, they say He is worthy to receive it. God is greater than all praise. The reason for their worship is that God is the Creator of everything. He made all things by His will and for His pleasure. Everything depends on Him, and only He deserves worship. This also shows that Jesus Christ is God, because the Bible says all things were created by Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16-17 ). God made everything for Himself, to bring Him glory, even though He does not enjoy the death of sinners but wants them to turn and live (Proverbs 16:4 ).

v. 11: The elders say, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power” (Revelation 4:11 ^a). They do not say, “We give you glory,” because no one can really give anything to God. Instead, they say He is worthy to receive it. God is greater than all praise. The reason for their worship is that God is the Creator of everything. He made all things by His will and for His pleasure. Everything depends on Him, and only He deserves worship. This also shows that Jesus Christ is God, because the Bible says all things were created by Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16-17 ^b). God made everything for Himself, to bring Him glory, even though He does not enjoy the death of sinners but wants them to turn and live (Proverbs 16:4 ^c).
