God is spirit
John
4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.To have a good spirit is to be worshipping God. We are not
worshipping in spirit when we are angry. We are not worshipping in spirit or
truth when we are lying. We are not worshipping God who is spirit if we do not
have his spirit of love living in us. We should look at what kind of spirit we
have accepted and not deceive ourselves. Look at what kind of spirit is
motivating your thoughts and actions. Does what you see make you ashamed, does
that spirit make you want to keep its presence secret for fear that it will
become known, even to yourself? If you are making excuses for it,
rationalizing, or minimizing it, you’ve proved the point.
The Spirit of love was sent to us by God the
father to give us life. Where that Spirit is there is freedom. To believe in
it, to trust in it, to honor it is to be worshipping God who sent it. It is the
light by which we can get rid of that other spirit. Believe the one God the Father has sent. John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe the one he has sent."
