"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13

Not true. God is worthy of glory from all beings. If they do so willingly, that is far better, but if they will not do it willingly, they will still give God the glory that is due His name.
Vast multitudes of humans who have never loved God or enjoyed Him and never will love or enjoy Him will yet some day bow the knee in worship of Him and glorify Him:
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Whether humans ever love or enjoy God or not, they will worship Christ one day and will thereby glorify God the Father.
Glorifying God is the greatest obligation that all humans have toward God.

I did not make any claim that it means that God presently does.

Sorry. It was just the way I read it. It could have been taken either way. My mistake.
