John 4:24(ESV)
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
The word Spirit here refers to the nature of the complete Triune God. To worship God, who is Spirit, we must worship with our spirit, which is of the same nature as He is. The word was given to instruct the Samaritan woman regarding her need to exercise her spirit to contact God the Spirit.
To contact God the Spirit with the Spirit is to drink of the living water, and to drink of the living water is to render real worship to God. God should be worshipped in the place chosen by God for His habitation. The place chosen by God for His habitation typifies the human spirit, where God’s habitation is today( Ephesians 2:22) and with the offerings.
The offerings typify Christ; Christ is the fulfillment and reality of all the offerings with which the people worshipped God. When Christ instructed the woman to worship God the Spirit in spirit and truthfulness, He meant that she should contact God the Spirit in her Spirit instead of in a specific location, and through Christ. Be blessed in the Lord!!!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for giving me the wine and river of life to drink of it. Satisfy me with all of yourself and make me fruitful in the calling in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
