1/7: A profound conversation unfolds in John 4:21-24 between Yeshua and the Samaritan woman at the well. Here, He talks about a new way of worship - one that’s not bound by a location but by ‘spirit’ and ‘truth’. 🕊️✨ #BibleVerse #Theology

2/7: In Greek, “worship,” προσκυνέω (proskyneo), means “to kiss towards,” as though kissing the ground out of reverence. The Hebrew equivalent is השתחווה (hishtachavah) involves a similar act of bowing down or prostrating oneself out of the deep respect involved in worship.

3/7: The word “spirit” translates from Greek πνεῦμα (pneuma) and the Hebrew רוח (ruach). These words denote an unseen yet powerful force - the very breath of God, a life-giving power that transcends the physical. #BibleWords #Spirituality

4/7: “Truth” in Greek is ἀλήθεια (aletheia), representing the actual reality. The Hebrew counterpart, אמת (emet), speaks of firmness, faithfulness, and reliability. Together, these words challenge us to approach God with authenticity; with actual reality. #BibleTruth #GodsWord

5/7: Worshiping in ‘spirit’ or רוח (ruach) implies a deeply personal act of worship. It’s a passionate engagement with God that surpasses physical limitations, born from the life-giving breath of God within us. #Spirituality #GodsLove

6/7: To worship in ‘truth’ or אמת (emet) is to align with God’s ultimate reality and accept His faithfulness. It invites us to approach God with authenticity, shedding pretense and embracing genuine reverence. #Truth #Faithfulness

7/7: This conversation invites us into transformative worship that reflects God’s nature. It’s a shift from temporal to eternal, physical to spiritual. Let’s strive to be such worshipers - in spirit and truth. #Worship #SpiritAndTruth #Transformation
