Christian Worship
“The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24).
The Lord in this chapter is speaking to the woman of Samaria at Sychar’s well. In these verses, He introduces four important elements in connection with the truth of Christian worship:
1. Worship would no longer be a question of worshipping in a geographical place, such as the mountain at Samaria or the temple at Jerusalem, but it would be the worship of a Person.
2. It would no longer be the worship of a Person who is unrevealed, but of God revealed and known in grace as the Father.
3. Further, it would no longer be an outward worship by forms and ceremonies, but worship “in spirit and truth.”
4. Christian worship is according to the true nature of God.“God is a spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
