To begin we need to know spirit from flesh, both completely different in every way, you see we can never ascend to the heavens in a fleshly body due to the make up of our bodies etc etc. So lets see what Jesus meant by worshiping with spirit and truth. Let us look at John chapter 4 verse 23 for a closer look at those who Jesus and God approve of in worshipping him.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. John 4;23. That word seek seems to present another action does it not? God seeks those who want to worship him in the manner approved by his standards that he placed based on the messages in the bible. He wants to find hearts and individuals who want to love as he loves, this is verified in another scripture that he showed to us on how he seeks our hearts and glances at us through his eyes.
For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 2 Chronicles 16;9 ASV, The name of God is placed in this scripture to emphasize that he is a personal God with a name to represent himself to all mankind. The American standard version and other bibles look to use this name to show the relationship God wants with mankind.
I noticed as did you the eyes searching for hearts, yes hearts of individuals who want to serve him and to do so means to learn about him through the message conveyed in the bible and conveyed by his son in the gospels he had written down for all to see. So now we know God is a spirit, and spirits are invisible to the naked eye and this spirit is the spirit of truth and of action, God allows us in his grace to enjoy freedoms we can never find by the offerings of Satan's world.
So how do we worship with spirit and truth as God requires of us? Lets look shall we? John 4;24 says "God is a spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth.” So truth is a major part of knowing God and getting God to see your heart. Paul the writer of Romans gives us instruction on what spirit and truth implies, lets look at the powerful two verses at Romans 12 verses1 and 2.
"So, brothers, I urge you by God’s compassion to present your bodies a holy living sacrifice acceptable to God, your rational form of worship; and do not shape yourselves to fit in with these times, but be transformed by reconstitution of your mind so that you may be judges of what is God’s good and acceptable and perfect will."
So through Christ we can transform our minds from darkness and remain strong knowing that spirit and truth involves us as Christians to remain focused on love and forgiveness and to heed Gods words that inform of us what direction we must pursue to remain in his visual path that will swoop us all towards a time where all this will show us gods true beauty for all mankind.
