    THE WORD IS TRUTH AND YHVH GOD IS SPIRIT, WE RECEIVE HIS SPIRIT WHEN WE BECOME SAVED.

    WE HAVE TO WORSHIP YHVH GOD IN THE SPIRT AND WITH HIS WORD TO WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.

    In my terms, worship comes from the heart as well as from truth. It's what makes the difference in how we feel about what we do. 

    It's easier for me to see things simplified. :)

    It is not the Alef who knows Christ; it is the Bet who know the Alphabet.

    For God is One.

    Only one is good.

    "This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about

    Christ and the church.

    You must be born again."we have to worship God in spirit and in truth???"

      "

    New International VersionThen the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

    These will come...

     4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.

    5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits a of God.

    6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

     (Revelation 4)

    bet = blazing and blazing is Christ and this bush is One. "did not burn up."

    bush is Bet

    New International VersionThere the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.

    God is a Spirit and so are we. Flesh cannot worship God. Material things only get in the way. We must worship God in our own spirits.

    Truth is Greek aletheia meaning

    "respecting God and the execution of his purposes through Christ, and respecting the duties of man, opposing alike to the superstitions of the Gentiles and the inventions of the Jews, and the corrupt opinions and precepts of false teachers even among Christians"

    "In spirit" is to maintain the soul in a constant state of grace. "In truth" is to worship God just as Jesus commanded, at the Last Supper.

    it means that God is a spirit, so we have be in spirit to worship God. in truth and sincerity. aiui. however think about this, if Jesus is God, and He is resurrected, in a body of flesh and bones, is the resurrected body meaningless? or eternal? Jesus therefore is no longer a God in spirit, but now He is resurrected for eternity and his resurrected body does not change.

    Jesus Christ said: “God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) 

    True worship must be rendered with truth in that it must conform to what Jehovah God has revealed in the Bible about himself and his purposes. Our service to God must also be spirited, or zealous, motivated by a heart full of love and faith. 

    In addition to being rendered with truth, acceptable worship would also have to be guided by the holy spirit God’s invisible active force. 

    To worship God “with spirit,” we must have his spirit and be guided by that spirit. It is possible to worship God with truth by studying his Word, the Bible, and by worshiping him according to his revealed truth.

    From the inside out.  Truthful worship according to 1 Cor. 14, Eph. 5:19, 1 Cor. 16.

    Jesus was contrasting with the type of worship of the Jews. The Jews worshipped only the Father. Jesus is saying now true worship will include the Holy Spirit (worship in Spirit) and Himself (the Truth). The new covenant includes the Trinity. Whoever now accepts the Son and the Holy Spirit now worships “in Spirit and in Truth”
