10 mins a day, closer to God.
In this verse, Jesus describes the nature of true worship. 'God is a Spirit,' He says, highlighting that God’s essence is beyond the physical. Therefore, to truly connect with Him, we must worship 'in spirit and in truth.' This means that worship is not about external rituals or appearances; rather, it is about a sincere, heartfelt connection that aligns with God’s character. Worshipping in spirit implies that our worship should be driven by our innermost being, touching the depths of our soul. To worship in truth is to worship with honesty and integrity, acknowledging God for who He truly is. This kind of worship transcends mere actions and enters into the realm of personal relationship. It requires openness, authenticity, and a desire to connect with God on a profound level. True worship is about aligning our hearts with God's will, seeking His presence with sincerity and reverence. In this, we fulfill the calling to worship God not just outwardly but with our whole being.
