TRUE WORSHIP

John 4:23-24, Philippians 3:3

But 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. *For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

We cannot really worship God if we do not know Him, and the only way we can know God is through Jesus. He came to reveal God, the Father to us, (John 1:18, Heb.1:3). The only way, we can truly worship as God desires is when we worship God through Jesus. This means, worshipping God based on the revelation of His character as revealed through Jesus and based on what He has done for us through Jesus. This is how we worship God in the Spirit – by rejoicing in Christ. God wants us to do everything we do in the name or authority of Jesus and give thanks to Him by or through Jesus, (Col.3:17).

In our first text above, Jesus showed us that God wants to be worshipped as a Father. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” We can only come to God as Father, through the revelation of Jesus.

Every other creation can worship God as God, but only those who know Jesus and what God has done through Jesus can worship God as Father. Every other creation knows or acknowledges who God is by creation and the physical things God does or has done, but only those who know Jesus can worship God for His work of redemption (the new creation) which is greater and which happened in the spirit.

Action Point:
Give God true worship right now, by thanking Him for His character which Jesus revealed and the things Jesus has done for us.
