The time has
come when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in
truth. That indicates that Jesus has finally come to earth to redeem his
people from their sins; therefore, every believer should bow down to
Jesus and honor him as the Son of God, the Messiah. We are to do that in
spirit, which means that the religious part of us needs to be in tune
with God the Father and learn more and more about Jesus. As we read in
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: It is our spirit that adores him, exalts him in our minds, and surrenders to his will as we live on this earth.
Our
text goes on to say that the Father "seeketh such to worship him." As
the Father looks at every aspect of our lives, what does he find in us?
Does he find a sincere heart full of love for him and dedicated to
serving him? We are all human and make human mistakes, but I pray that
God will lead us into the whole truth of Scripture so that we can
worship him in spirit and truth. "God is a Spirit," and those who
worship him must worship him in spirit and truth (24).
The truth
is the Bible. No other book has even come close to shining godly truth
into the hearts of believers. All writings should be measured against
the perfection of the word of God -- James 1:25 But whoso looketh
into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a
forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in
his deed.
