Why is it important to worship God in spirit and truth?

Worshipping God in spirit and truth is essential because God is characterized as a spirit, as referenced in John 4:24. This means that our worship should not rely on physical forms or rituals but rather stem from the heart and spirit. True worship requires sincerity and alignment with God’s truth, which is found in the revelation of Jesus Christ. Authentic worship reflects our understanding of God's nature and our humble response to His sovereignty. As we worship in this way, we fulfill our purpose as created beings, made to glorify God and enjoy communion with Him.
