We are designed to worship God in spirit and truth. As Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well. He sought to help her do this by imparing to her Gods living water ( John 4:13-14) Jesus sought out this woman personally to give her abundant life. In the same way, the Father seeks an encounter with each of us that is real and personal. The Samaritan woman had heard about God; Jesus said true worship must be face to face with God. Worship is not religion or ritual, worship is an intimate and vital encounter with a Person. True Worship includes the full recognition of who God is; Holy, Sovereign, Almighty, Loving, Merciful. This recognition brings about the realization of our own sinfulness. True worship is life -changing! It creates within the worshippers heart a hatred for sin. True worship results in repentance anda desire of Holiness ( Isa. 6:1-8). True worship generates a desire to show mercy and to express forgiveness. It includes a joyful acceptance of all that God has provided by His grace. True worship is not EXCLUSIVE. The one who has truly worshipped will have a sense of peace and confident expectation of what God is about to do. True worship produce a TRANSFORMED LIFE. reflecting the ONE who has been worshipped .
