Psalm 115

If a proper worship of the Lord, both corporately and in the way you live in the world, leads to godliness, that is becoming like God in your character, then it only makes sense that worshiping other things will make us like these other things. This is what Psalm 115 is highlighting. You become like the thing that you worship.

That should be a frightening notion, for if the object of your worship is anything other than the Lord, then it will ultimately lead to darkness and death, for there is no light and life apart from God.

We become like what we worship: worshiping the living God leads to life, while worshiping idols leads to death.
