AC 7550 - the Lord is to be acknowledged as the only God

AC 7550
And that My name may be told in the whole earth.
(Exodus 9:16)
That this signifies that where the church is
the Lord may be acknowledged as the only God,
is evident from the signification of "name,"
as being everything in one complex
by which the Lord is worshiped;
and as the veriest essential of worship
is the acknowledgment
that the Lord is the only God,
and that His Human is Divine,
and that from this
proceeds all faith and love,
therefore by the "name of Jehovah being told" is signified
that the Lord is to be acknowledged as the only God . . ..

That Jehovah or the Lord in this and in many other passages
wills that His might and power may appear, and His name be told,
and elsewhere that He be humbly worshiped and adored,
seems as if He desires to show forth His glory,
and as if He loves adoration for the sake of Himself.
But quite different is the real case.
It is not for the sake of Himself,
but for the sake of the human race;
not from self-glory,
but from love;
for He wills to be conjoined with the human race,
and to give them eternal life and happiness.
This cannot be done
unless the person is in humble worship;
and there can be no humble worship
unless the person acknowledges and believes
that he himself is dust and ashes,
that is, nothing but evil,
and that Jehovah or the Lord is the Greatest and the Holiest,
and that he dare not from himself approach Him.
When a person is in such humble worship,
then the Lord can flow in with the life of His love,
and give heaven and eternal happiness.
This is the reason why Jehovah or the Lord
so greatly extols His own power and glory in the Word.
