Show WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH j I By BOB REYNOLDS I ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP When Jesus once passed through the province of Samaria, Sa-maria, He stopped to rest at Jacob's well outside the city of Sychar. There he had a conversation v.ilh a Samaritan woman. She soon said, "Sir, I perceive that thou are a prophet. pro-phet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye said, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship" (John 4:19-20). To both Jews and Samaritans, the place of worship was extremely important, but they could not agree upon the proper locality. The reply of Jesus was designed to show that the place is of little consequence, but that the manner of worship is of great importance. "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this moun- tain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 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. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" i (John 4:21, 23-24). Acceptable worship, then, is two-fold it must be in spirit, or with the proper condition of heart. It must also be in truth, or in accordance with the way that God has prescribed. Worship which is in spirit, but not in the way that He has ordained, is not pleasing to Him. Neither is God satisfied with worship carried out in the right way, - but which is devoid of the proper spirit. Acceptable worship wor-ship requires both the spirit and the truth.
