Are You a True Worshiper?
Are You a True Worshiper? John 4:21-24 Main Point: Father God seeks those who will worship Him with their whole heart – in spirit and in truth. Are we seeking Him? ‘Worship’ (Greek - proskuneo) = to kiss towards, to kiss the hand translates Hebrew (Shachah) - to bow down, prostrate oneself. Psalm 29:2 ‘Give to the LORD the glory due His name, worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.’ *Have you come to Him? Micah 6:8 ‘He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you? But to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?’ *Worship is both an act and an attitude! 1. God is spirit and seeks us to worship Him in spirit and in truth. verse 24 (place is irrelevant) 2. In Spirit means in the inner being, the spirit - the heart, not just outward show, external ritual. verse 23a 3. In truth means one's spirit is connected with, and made alive by the truth of God revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ. verse 23b
