4:24 God is a Spirit - Not only remote from the body, and all the properties of it, but likewise full of all spiritual perfections, power, wisdom, love, holiness. And our worship should be suitable to his nature. We should worship him with the truly spiritual worship of faith, love, and holiness, animating all our tempers, thoughts, words, and actions.
Joh 4:24 God [is] a Spirit. Rather, "God is Spirit". This declaration is fundamental. Since he is Spirit, he must receive spiritual worship, and is everywhere present.
Marvel not that I said unto thee,Ye must be born again.John 4:24 Jesus declares to the Samaitan woman. God is a spirit; They that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Must place an obligation or mandate,not optional, there is no benefit if it is not done in the spiritand in truth. Genesis (3:3-5)shows us how we should worship God with respect, humility,sincerety, honor and reverence Him. God did not have respect for Cain and his offering.It was not offered as worship. But unto Abel, God had respect unto Abel and his offering.Therefore, worship is very spiritual and makes connection with God. The nature of worship involves submission, with the whole soul, mind,feelings,emotions and desires. Worship involves a launching out into the deep so when you let that net down for that draw it is so great, you have no desire to come to where it is shallow.The Psalmist declares,deep rcalleth unto deep at thy water spout. Worship in spirit and in truth reveals the mind of God to His people.
We must worship God with spirit & truth! In order for our faith to be true to god it must be totally truthful.. remember what the apostle Paul said- Do you not know that a little leaven ferments the whole lump?
The bible speaks of babylon the great in Revelation. It was a great city dedicated to hundreds of false religious worship alacart...
What we see today in many religions is a counterfit belief system that incorporates many aspects of babylonish and Pagan teachings and philosophies of man. Such as CHRISTMAS, EASTER, THE TRINITY, HELLFIRE, IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL....to mention a few.....All of these teachings are false or counterfeit. If you dont believe me just do your own research on all of these subjects and see for yourself....The truth will set you free!!
