John 4:19-24 ESV
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
True worship is done in the temple of the spirit. We are the temple where God resides with us, for He is in us. God is Spirit and that Spirit seals us in the kingdom, into the temple of His presence. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. Worship is part of our relationship with Him. It is not dependent on the space we occupy, but the room we provide to Him in our hearts.
This is spirit and truth.
