Among the teachings of the Bible is the worship of Jesus Christ, not
because Christ is God but because it is God's commandment that at the
same name of Jesus "every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth...to the glory of the Father" (Phil. 2:10-11). Christ has
been placed by God for above all principality, power, might, and
dominion, and all things have been put under His feet (Eph. 1:21-22).
That Christ is not God, although men are commanded to worship Him, is
further proven by the biblical teaching that He will be eventually
subject all His power and authority to the Father who is the only true
God.
"For the scripture says, 'God put all things under his
feet'. It is clear, of course, that the words 'all things' do not
include God himself, who puts all things under Christ. But when all
things have been placed under Christ's rule, then he himself, the Son,
will place himself under God, who placed all things under Him; and God
will rule completely over all." (I Cor. 15:27-28, Today's English Version)
