True Worshipper
“But the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.” John 4:23
How do we become true worshippers? First of all, there is no one-size-fits-all. The Bible doesn’t say you must worship God in a certain way. This is because worship is such a powerful outpouring of our hearts towards the Lord that it cannot be limited to words or defined by a song, a shout, or silence.
Jesus said, ‘True worshippers are led by the Spirit… These are the ones the Father is seeking to worship Him.’ John 4:23.
Second, God created us to worship Him. John wrote, ‘Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure, they are and were created.’ Revelation 4:11.
Nothing brings pleasure to the heart of our heavenly Father more than the love and adoration of His redeemed children.
Third, worship can be expressed by anybody, anywhere, anytime. The Samaritan woman in John 4, grew up believing that true worship must be expressed at a sacred mountain called Gerizim, whereas the Jews believed it should be practised in the temple at Jerusalem. But Jesus said it wasn’t to be confined to the church or a particular day of the week.
The psalmist puts it like this: ‘Servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its going down the Lord’s name is to be praised.’ Psalm 113:1–3
Give God your worship.
