Origen on the benefit of worshiping God

"[...]we will not worship God as though He needed it, or as if He will be grieved if we do not worship Him, but because we ourselves receive benefit from worshipping God, and become men who have no feelings of grief or emotion as a result of serving the supreme God through His only-begotten Logos and Wisdom." (Con. Cel. VIII,8)
