What Is Worship In Spirit And In Truth?
In the Gospel of John it is recorded that Jesus said the Father desires worshipers and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth. What does it mean to worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth? Let us now proceed to arrive at a better understanding.
Much has been written about this verse looking at the original language it was written in, and scholars differ in the meaning of this verse. So is there a way to settle it once and for all, and determine what it means to worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth?
"We also know that God is a spiritual being. To worship in spirit, then, is to do something that is beyond the physical. We do not worship by simply bowing our knees; we worship through a heart posture (Psalm 51:17). And our worship is in line with the worship going on in heaven (Psalm 148:1-2; Ephesians 6:12;Revelation 4:8)." www.compellingtruth.org
The worship on earth being in line with the worship going on in heaven spoken about in the last paragraph above I believe is "the truth" we are to worship in line with. The truth about how worship is to be done to please the Father is revealed in Heaven if we could discover what that worship is like. Well fortunately we can discover what that worship is like.
