All in Spirit and Truth

It is tempting to think that we can find life, and not only the bare necessities of life like the rise and fall of our breasts, but the rich fullness of life, in the things we are able to physically do each day. In fact our happiness, joy, and the provision of everything that sustains us is spiritual in origin. Through the love of God, the peace of Christ, and the understanding given us by the Holy Spirit, we begin to realize that without the spirit nature of who we are, we are destined to be crushed by life, and doomed to a miserable death… not of the body, but something much deeper… our souls. Jesus hung on the cross with His body dying, but His Spirit remained alive in hope, and faith. His body was suffering even as His Spirit sustained life in Him… until He committed it to God.

How do we worship God? Is it by chanting, and singing certain hymns and songs? Is it by placing ourselves in a particular posture? Do we worship by reciting ritual creeds and prayers, or perhaps by performing certain ceremonies and liturgical acts? No, although these things might help us reach a state of worship they are not worship in themselves. Jesus tells us in scripture what it means to worship God... we must do so in Spirit and truth.
