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

Answered in 2 sources

Worship must be in spirit and truth because God is Spirit, and He desires those who worship Him to do so from their hearts according to His truth.

Jesus articulates in John 4:24 that God is Spirit and requires true worshipers to worship in both spirit and truth. This call to authentic worship transcends physical locations and rituals, emphasizing a wholehearted engagement with God that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. The understanding of truth involves recognizing and responding to God's self-revelation as revealed in Scripture. Thus, proper worship arises from both an enlightened understanding of God's word and an emotional, heartfelt response, moving beyond mere external forms to a deep relational experience that honors God’s glory.
