Honor, adore and worship. Why?
If there were a God of any kind, He or She or It could not help being what it is.
Why then would anyone want to honor or adore or worship what cannot help but be what it is?
If you do then you may as well adore the sun or moon or that rock at your feet.
All of these including God cannot help but be as they are. All people by this definition would also be candidates for adoration, reverence and respect and worship.
Perhaps this is why one of the Jesus archetypes said, have ye forgotten that ye are Gods?
To give honor, adoration and worship then is very close to idol worship. Why then do you seek an idol? Do you have some kind of instinct that forces you to seek something to revere?
Would you like to be honored, adored and worshiped just for being what you cannot help being?
Why would you seek to honor, adore and worship anything or anyone?

I worship God because he created me. He might not have any choice about what he
is but he can choose what he
does

You speak with such conviction on creator God.
Other than hear say or Bible say, all hear say and second hand information, what if anything concrete do you have to hang your definitive statements on?
Personal experience and communication perhaps?

Isn't the Bible enough? If you want evidence that the Bible is true read this:

@theophilus cv,
To believe that the Bible is truth, you would have to believe in talking animals and a water walker who does not mind using genocide on innocent children and babies.
Do you believe in those?
As recall, you did not believe in the fiction of the Trinity.
Do you not cherry pick your Bible?

If the evidence shows that the Bible is true you must believe whatever it says regardless of whether it seems reasonable to you.

I don't know what it is you are recalling but I do believe in the Trinity.

Is that not four distinct Natures?
The Trinity consists of God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, who is both God and man. The human and divine natures are united in him.
I don't fully understand the Trinity but I realize that God in infinite and I am finite so it isn't surprising that there will be some things about God that are beyond my comprehansion.
@Greatest I am cv,
ignorance will not sustain you. why honor and adore, look, feel, jeez
