We owe him every honor we can possibly give. Since God made all things, he deserves all the glory. The Bible says, “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created everything.

On the other hand, if you reject his love, forgiveness, and salvation, you will spend eternity apart from God forever.”
