How to Worship God

"The highest position that man can EVER achieve is kneeling at the feet of Christ Jesus"

Galatians 2:20 ...' I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.'

Most Christians know the verse in the Bible

Worship in Spirit and Truth

in John 4:24, where Jesus said we need to worship God in Spirit and Truth.
But how many of us truly does as Jesus said?
Do you know how to worship God in spirit and truth?

Are you sure God accepts your current form of worship?

Do you worship in accordance with scripture, or do you just go along with the crowd?

Can you say with confidence, "NO COMPROMISE" about your relationship with Christ Jesus?

Are you separating yourself from sin and the things of this world?

Friend, we are living in the end times of earth's history and Satan is doing all he can to deceive God's children and cause them to compromise their faith. But if we worship God according to the Spirit and the truth of His Word, then we will not be deceived by the evil one.

The aim of this website is to encourage people to truly give their lives to Jesus and live for the kingdom of heaven everyday.

"A Revival of true godliness among us is the greatest of all our needs. To seek this should be our first work."

(Christ Our Righteousness
pp. 146 (1929 ed.)

Please read this most vital message from our end times website -
Christ and His Righteousness

God says "By those who come near Me, I MUST be regarded as holy, and before all the people I MUST be glorified." (Leviticus 10:3) NKJV

John 4:24 ...'God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth.' ... As we can clearly see here, Jesus Himself said that we MUST worship God in spirit and truth.

Now many professing Christians will have you believe that we can worship God any way we like. Does Jesus say that here? Does He say that the time has come when the true worshipers can worship God anyway they like?
No.
He says we MUST worship in spirit and truth. This means that any other way is unacceptable. So if Jesus said that we must worship this particular way, then why do so many professing Christians claim that we can worship God anyway we like, even in a worldly way?

It's because instead of the church converting the world, the world is sadly converting the church. But God has a people who are willing to stand apart for Christ Jesus. Are you one of them?

John 4:23 ...'But the hour comes, and now is, when the TRUE worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.'

If there are true worshipers, then there are also false worshipers.

There is only one way to worship God, and the Lord revealed from the beginning that He demands worship in a certain way when He accepted Abel's worship, but rejected Cain's. So we know that this is a very important issue, and a message that needs our full attention and understanding.

If at this moment you don't know what this means or how to worship God in spirit and truth, then please pray first and ask God to give you wisdom and to open your eyes and heart to His Bible truth. ...

James 1:5 ...'If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraid not; and it shall be given him.' ...

This is one of the many great Bible promises that Jesus gives us through His Word in the Bible.
Why do we Worship God?

We worship God because He created us through and by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We worship God because He has freed us from the penalty of our sins, through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We worship God because of the promise of eternal life with Him, if we serve Him with all our heart, mind and soul. We worship God because He comforts us in times of distress.

We worship God because of His unfailing love for each and every one of us. He loves us with a love that goes far beyond anything we know. Friend, we have an amazing God and He deserves all the glory and honor and praise and exaltation we can give Him. This is why He needs us to worship Him in spirit and truth and not just in any old way.

Now for some reason, the majority of the Christian world believe they need to "keep up with the times", that they need to be more modern and therefore need to bring more worldly things into the worship service to entice more people (especially young people) into their church buildings. But is this in line with scripture?

Is this in line with worshiping God in spirit and truth?

Does the Bible say we need to keep up to date with the world?

Of course not. The Bible actually says that we as the people of God need to stay separate from the world. We are IN the world, but we should not be OF the world. And God NEVER changes, as the two following Bible verses confirm:

Malachi 3:6 ...'For I am the LORD, I change not.'

Hebrews 13:8 ...'Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.'

God does not change, so why does the church need to change?

The only reason many denominations think they need to change is because they are not worshiping in line with the Word of God in the first place, and are not trusting in the power of God alone.

Jesus said ... 'But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.' (John 4:23-24) ...

The TRUE worshipers, worship our Heavenly Father in spirit and in truth.

This doesn't mean just going to church once a week, singing some songs and listening to a sermon. This issue of worship goes much deeper in ourselves. It neither says in the above Bible verse that we can worship Him however we like.

This isn't about us. It's not what WE want to do, it's what God wants us to do according to His Word. I hear many Christians say that people can worship God however they like. That is not truth. Jesus does not even hint at that suggestion in the Bible.

Notice it says that 'God is a Spirit'. Think about it, He is an infinite Spirit being and is not subject to the limitations of material things. He's not concerned with where we worship Him, or the type of building we worship in, how nice the building is, or how good the church band is.

He is just concerned with how we worship Him. He is a Spirit and seeks those who worship Him in spirit. Notice also that He 'seeks' those who worship in spirit, which means He does not accept just any type of worship. So how do we worship God in spirit and truth?

"God is concerned with how we worship Him"
