Worship involves ascribing worth to God through bowing down in intimacy and closeness. True worship is paying honor, reverence and homage to God through thought, feelings or acts as described in Revelation 5:13. There are three types of worship: vain worship follows human traditions rather than God's word; ignorant worship knows God but ignores his word; and true worship is "in spirit and in truth" as described in John 4:23-24. True worship requires an intimate relationship with God through spending time with him, coming to him honestly as ourselves, having a godly attitude, fleeing idolatry, and honoring the Sabbath by assembling with other believers.

2. Hebrew (shacha) – bow down, make one self low
3. Greek (proskuneo)– same as above, but also denotes
intimacy and closeness.

4. Types of Worship
 Vain Worship: is empty, worthless or useless. Following the songbooks, prayer
books and other commandments of men in worship. (Matt. 15:9, Mark. 7:7)
 Ignorant Worship: is knowing the true God but ignores God's Word and offer
lip service.( Acts 17:23-30) (Lifestyle Reflection)
 True Worship: is worshipping God "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:23, 24)

5. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WORSHIP IN
SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
In Spirit and in Truth represents what comes
from the internal, or the spirit of man
fueled by the Holy Spirit

6. How do we worship in “spirit and in
truth.”
A. There must be true worship. It must be a decisive act of engaging
into His presence. True worship can only take place if:
1. There is relationship. A person must be born again to worship
God.
2. There must be intimacy. We must spend time with Him to know
Him, to know His Word, and to know His promises.
B. There must be honesty. We must come to Him as ourselves. We
can not put on a false spiritual front, or try to copy and be
something or someone we are not. God wants us to present
ourselves. Read Isaiah 29:13.

7. How do we worship in “spirit and in
truth.”
C. There must be a godly attitude. Basically, this is how we live our
lives to glorify God. “…do all to the glory of God.” 1 Cor. 10:31. This
is living the life of a worshipper. Communing daily with Him as we go
on our way that we may walk in His Spirit to be a vessel of His love to
those that He puts in our path.
D. Must flee idolatry. “You must have no other gods before Me.”
Exodus 20:3
E. Must honor the Day of Rest. “Remember the Sabbath and keep it
holy.” Exodus 20:8 “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves.”
Hebrews 10:25.
