What does the Bible say about worshiping God in spirit and truth?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that true worship is done in spirit and truth, acknowledging our sinfulness and reliance on Christ's work for righteousness.
In John 4:24, Jesus states that 'God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.' This implies that worship must emanate from a genuine heart and be grounded in the truth of who God is and what He has accomplished. The parable of the Pharisee and the Publican in Luke 18 illustrates this principle, contrasting a proud, self-righteous worshiper who trusted in his own works with a humble sinner who begged for mercy. True worship recognizes one's utter dependence on God's grace and the completed work of Christ, not self-reliance.
