23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
Spiritual worship is that where the heart is offered to God, and where we do not depend on external forms for acceptance. Barnes Notes on the Bible
Worshiping in the Spirit and in Truth Is:
- in our spirit, or inwardly in our minds and hearts
- adoring his majesty
- revering his power
- humbled before his purity
- confiding in his mercy
- praising him for his benefits
- loving him for his extraordinary and transcendent love to us
- being subject to his authority
- obedient to his will
- devoted to his glory
- and striving after a closer union with him
- and a more full conformity to him.
