God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth -John 4:24
Here the context is – Jesus speaks above verse to a Samaritan woman who is drawing water from a well. This woman is not only an ''unclean'' Samaritan, but an outcast among her own people. She attempts to avoid Jesus' teachings, giving flippant and sarcastic answers. Despite that, and despite knowing all about her sin, Jesus encourages her with the love of God.
To worship in spirit means we must be concerned with spiritual realities, but not so much with places or outward sacrifices, cleansings, and trappings.
To worship in truth means we must worship according to the whole counsel of God’s word, especially considering the New Testament revelation. It also means that we come to God in truth, not in pretense or a mere display of spirituality.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I know that You are good, and Your love is better than life. Help me to stand fast in the truth when I don’t see, hear, or feel Your love. Help me not to get bogged down in the swirl of negative emotions. Instead, may I cling to You and worship You in Spirit and in Truth. You are the way, the truth, and the life. I thank You for my salvation and for the newness of life in Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus, Amen
