#### Confession of Faith
##### Chapter 21: Of Religious Worship, and the Sabbath Day
Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and to him alone;[^fnref:wcf1] not to angels, saints, or any other creature:[^fnref:wcf2] and, since the fall, not without a Mediator; nor in the mediation of any other but of Christ alone.[^fnref:wcf3]

I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.</p> </div><h5>Romans 1:25</h5> <div class="esv-text"><p id="p45001025.01-3">because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!
