Worshipping in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24)

But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth - John 4:23-24

How amazing is it that God Himself is seeking after us?

As important as it is for us to seek after God, it is more important for us to know that God is seeking us.

Thus our job is not to "find" God per se, but rather to be found by Him. We must simply position ourselves to encounter the God who is pursuing us already.

Jesus tells us that we must worship God in spirit and in truth. This is where we will encounter Him.

Many people find themselves pulled to one direction or the other. Some are always ready to move with the spirit, but they are offended by the truth. Or vice versa - they are very focused on correct theology, but when it comes to letting go and trusting the spirit, they find themselves unable.

We must embrace both the spirit and the truth without neglecting the other. This can only be done in Christ.

Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the Spirit and the Truth. They find their union in Him. And in Him is where we must find ourselves if we are to experience the fullness of God.

Jesus Christ must be the centerpiece and cornerstone of our theology. He must be the focus and aim of our spirituality.

Let the Spirit of Truth be your teacher, and He will not only teach you, He will transform you into His image.

If you abide in me,

and my words abide in you,

ask whatever you wish,

and it will be done for you.

John 15:7
