Daniel 3When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were brought before King Nebuchadnezzar, they were faced with the decision to worship Nebuchadnezzar’s statue or to worship the one true God. Though they faced possible death in the fiery furnace, they refused to worship anyone other than the true God. God is the only God and we are created to worship Him alone.
Story:
Creation
God created everything. Everything we see, hear, feel, taste, and that exists was created by Him. Not only did He create everything, but He created everything perfectly, including humanity. He created mankind in His very image and likeness to reflect His worth. All of creation was made just like He wanted and designed it to be. To His delight, God looked at everything He made and declared that it was good. All creation exists for God, is good, and was created to bring Him glory.
