IN SPIRIT? ....

ST. JOHN 4:22-24

(22)  Ye worship ye know not what:  we know what we worship:  for salvation is of the Jews.  (23)  But the hour comet h, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:  for the Father seeketh such to worship him.  (24)  God is a Spirit:  and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord,  in this context; Jesus, speaks to us about worshiping the Father:  he said, the Jews, believe that salvation belonged to them;  because, they are chosen people of God.  Yes, they are chosen;  but Jesus, is saying in this context, that the Father is seeking true worshipers; and anyone who will worship him in spirit, and in truth will also receive everlasting life.

Case in point, some christian believers go to church every Sunday, in new outfits; because they want to be regarded with admiration by fellow worshipers.  Such believers, leave home for services, with their minds already in flesh;  because they go to impress fellow worshipers, but not to worship the Father:  there is nothing wrong with wearing new outfits every Sunday;  the point is,  these actions sometimes distract other worshipers from concentrating on worshiping the Lord.  

Brethren, flesh has taken control of the churches, and these believers are not worshiping the Lord in spirit:  likewise, true worshipers will not gossip about what a friend was wearing to church;  neither, will they lie, spread rumors, commit adultery, steal, envy, be jealous, or blaspheme the name of God; but will worship the Lord with truthfulness and in spirit.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in the Lord;  we worship a true and righteous living God of all creation.  He is alive today, and forevermore:  we are to please him through our worships, and thanks offerings.  It is important for us to be truthful in all our ways, and display the fruit of the spirit in his presence.
Jesus, our Lord and Savior, will forgive us of all our trespasses, and bring us into his righteousness;  if we seek him with all our hearts, minds, souls and bodies.  He is always faithful!  Amen and Amen!

(Galatians 5:25)  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
