Integrating Spirit and Truth

The hour is coming, and now is, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:23-24 Places and rituals aren’t the essentials of a relationship with God. Jesus explains that, instead there are two rails that keep us on track: spirit and truth. Both are necessary for a vibrant, growing relationship with God. In John chapter 4, Jesus says, “God is Spirit.” We operate in the physical world, but God has put eternity in our hearts with an awareness of the unseen world. It’s easy, though, to be attracted to any of the myriad of spiritual experiences promised by other religions and New Age philosophies. Jesus reminded the woman at the well (and us) that the second rail in our pursuit of God is truth. The Scriptures tell us the truth about the nature of God, the way He relates to us, His instructions about life and relationships, and the consequences of turning our backs on Him. Our expanding grasp of truth, though, can lead only to pride if we aren’t sensitive to God’s Spirit, who points out our selfishness and points us back to God again and again. Sprit and Truth – both are essential in our walk with God. And this is the foundation behind my coaching and consulting practice – Truth@Life. Are you more attracted to spiritual experiences or biblical truth? You need a balance of both. What would a strong blend of both look like in your life? I’d love to talk to you personally.
