How do we know that worship must be in spirit and truth?

Answered in 2 sources

Worship must be in spirit and truth as taught by Jesus, indicating that genuine worship comes from a heartfelt response enabled by the Holy Spirit.

In John 4:24, Jesus articulates the need for worship to be in spirit and truth, indicating that true worship is not confined to physical locations or rituals, but is deeply spiritual and genuine. It necessitates the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, who enables believers to approach God authentically. This means that worship involves a heartfelt connection to God's truth as revealed in Scripture, ensuring that our worship aligns with who God is and what He desires from us. The absence of such an inner transformation renders worship ineffective and vain.
