Exploring the holy texts

“… the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23)

Notice this verse is telling us that we have to learn how to worship God from our human spirits. The letter “s” in the word “spirit” is with a small “s.” This means it is talking about our human spirits. The apostle Paul tells us that we have three parts to our being – body, soul, and spirit.

I believe the Lord is trying to tell us two things with the specific wording of this verse.

First, we have to learn how to worship the Lord from our spirit, which means that we have to learn how to worship Him from our heart.

The second thing is that we must learn how to worship the Lord in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives and dwells in our human spirits. The Holy Spirit enters into our human spirits the moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and have become saved and born again.
