Worship In Spirit And In Truth

  While the US and the rest of the world are celebrating the win of President Barak Obama, the prophecies that will affect our way of life continue to roll on. There are those who are opposed to him being re-elected, but the truth be told there was nothing to stop what was and is to  happen in the coming year/s. What God have already spoken through His prophets will come to pass no matter who takes control of which country. All that we see is just a diversion from the real issue at hand. The ironic thing is that they are linked. What am I jabbering about one might ask, the underlined theme of all that is playing off world wide is the issue of worship; who, when and how. A lot have been said about the Sabbath of the Lord God and I don’t think I need to go on and on about it. In the book of John, Jesus spoke to the woman at the well about true worship and the true way to worship God. (John 4:23   But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.   4:24   God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.) 

 “True worship consists in working together with Christ. Prayers, exhortation, and talk are cheap fruits, which are frequently tied on; but fruits that are manifested in good works, in caring for the needy, the fatherless, and widows, are genuine fruits, and grow naturally upon a good tree”.-- Review and Herald, Aug. 16, 1881.

 “ The true knowledge of Jesus Christ will lead your mind . . . in a safe direction. It gives the inspiration of true worship. It is the fellowship of the soul with Him who is its life. Coming in contact with Him, the mind is drawn to His heart of life and is inspired with the essence of His sanctification.”  {MM 112.5}

Jesus came to demonstrate to man with perfect example the way to worship. Always, He showed a close connection to the Heavenly Father and by obeying His every word. Never have Jesus asked man to do anything that He Himself would not do. He is our perfect example of holiness and righteousness; He took time while on the cross to grant a sinner a chance of salvation, but we are always too busy to tell a dyeing soul about the coming king. Too busy to offer hope, too busy with self to care for the needs of any other. All this my friends is worship; Matthew 25:34-46. Worship is not going to church and singing and reading scripture, worship is obedience to whom one listens to. Romans 6:16   Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?  

Jesus wants us to walk the talk and by doing so all men will be drawn unto Him.
