Subject: How to recognise worship in spirit |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, Good post. You said however, "one of the gifts of the spirit is discernment." I see the Holy Spirit as the Giver of the gift of spirit or spiritual discernment. Just as the last sentence of your first paragraph says, the gift that we seek through His Holy Spirit is spiritual discernment. So I would say that one of the gifts of the Spirit is discernment. And for John 4:24, I still have penciled in my personal copy, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth." We worship Him (Spirit) and are seeking to be filled with His spiritual words of truth. And verse 25 says that when that One comes, He will declare all things to us. From the heart, Ray |
