How to Worship

When it comes to worship, Jesus taught two things: worship God in Spirit and Truth

1. Worshiping God in Truth – see John 4:23, Philipians 3:3

To worship in truth is to worship God through Jesus from the heart.

2. Worshiping God in Spirit – See John 4:24

God by nature is Spirit, so how can a person worship God in Spirit?

To worship in Spirit is to have our acts of worship be sincere, genuine and real. Worship that is done in Spirit comes from the heart, the mind and the soul.

Conclusion

Worship is a lifestyle of loving, honoring and surrendering one’s entire being to God. True worship is when our heart posture is fixed on God and its fuel by love.

To worship in Spirit is to worship with a proper heart attitude.
