John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true
worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is
seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship
Him must worship in spirit and truth.
We see in the above mentioned scripture a couple of clear
directives for us to be aware of.
Firstly is that He said the TRUE worshippers will worship God in spirit
and truth. What does this mean? Well is obviously clear that there
are also false worshippers who claim to be Christians. But the way
they live and "worship" shows that they are not true followers of
Christ.
True worshipers do not merely worship God with lip service on a
given Sunday or church event, but rather have an habitual lifestyle
of worship and honoring God in all that they do, say, think, desire.
Secondly we see Jesus say that we MUST worship God in spirit and
truth, which shows me that any other form of worship to God is
unacceptable.
Can we worship God in any way that we like? Will God accept
any form of worship? This is something to think about as satan is
very cunning and active within the church and has deceived
many professing Christians into thinking that they can worship God
any way they like. There is allot of profane fleshly acts that people
declare to be worship, but rather is a mockery and disrespectful to
the Lord.
I don‘t think this kind of thinking falls in line with what Jesus said in
John 4:23-24. ―TRUE worshippers will worship in SPIRIT and TRUTH,
and not only that, He also said we MUST worship this way. He didn't
say we could worship God any way we like. He said we MUST
worship a CERTAIN way.
