God from the very beginning has an ACCORDING TO way that He operates.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."(NIV)

According to the immense power of His word this powerful thing happened to the entire universe. Because His word was powerful the outcome was powerful.

The rest of creation God lays a foundation of according to…

* God creates the trees and commands them to recreate after their kind… According to their kind.
* God creates animal life and commands them to recreate after their kind… According to their kind.

How God acts toward us is all a part of His "according to" plan.  If we give, we will receive. If we forgive, we will be forgiven. If we judge we will be judged. According to the measure we give, forgive, judge... we receive according to that measure.

When it comes to our Worship and Praise to God, it should be according to something... Praise according to what?

Psalm 150:2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.(NIV)

We should praise God according to His acts of power!  We should praise Him according to His surpassing greatness.

We need to look into the Word of God and find the Biblical way to worship God. Then we need to seek to worship God according to His acts of power and greatness.

How God interacts with us is by His “ACCORDING TO†plan

 

His word tells us that according to our faith in Jesus Christ we have His Righteousness…

Romans 3:22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,(NIV)

He tells us that according to His grace we are saved…

Romans 3:24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.(NIV)

Jesus looked people in the eye and said ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH… and then healed them…

 

He has placed an according to law on us.

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.(NIV)

Galatians 6:8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.(NIV)

According to what you sow, you will reap.  Be it good or bad, we reap according to what we sow.

 

God’s word tells us that the strength, the passion, the measure at which we sow, we will receive according to that strength, passion, or measure.

Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."(NIV)

Give and it will be given.  According to what you give it will be given… but that is not all.  “For with the measure you use,
