True W0R5H1P

1st Thessalonians 5:23 is read “May God himsef, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together – spirit, soul and body – and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.” MESSAGE
This suggests that the human whole is made up of three distinct parts/sections. These three sections are;
THE BODY: - The physical or the flesh and blood i.e. skeleton, muscles and organs.
THE SOUL: - The mental and emotional i.e. thoughts, feelings, conscience, will and guts.
THE SPIRIT: - The God realm which influences the soul and the body, the prime realm.
Now Jesus told us in John 4:24 that “God is sheer being itself – Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very beings, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” MESSAGE
From the first scripture we figured that the human whole is portioned into the spirit, soul and body, but in the second scripture it was put forth that to worship God we must do it “truly” in spirit. This implies that it is possible to worship God “untruly” i.e. not in the spirit.
I will list out the three portions of the human whole and our means of worship through these portions so as to clarify the reason why the spirit is the utmost/truest form of worship.
WORSHIP FROM THE BODY: - This is the form of worship done by many “christians” today sadly. It in volves the clapping of hands, shaking of heads, movement of feet, vigorous dancing and sometimes even movement of lips without actually thinking of/taking in the meaning to the words that are being said or sung. This sort of worship is not worthy to be presented to the Lord God Almighty.
WORSHIP FROM THE SOUL: - This form of worship is also sadly seen in churches around the world; it’s that form that happens when you are singing the song, thinking of the meaning of the words and smiling to yourself about how this song is true but you are not putting your all, your being into the worship of God. This sort of worship is just halfway to how the Lord expects us to worship him.
WORSHIP FROM THE SPIRIT: - This form of worship is the perfect and purest form of worship; it is a continous form of worship. It is a worship that comes from our very being, our true selves. To worship from your being is to be in the worship. It involves giving your all to God releasing yourself totally to his control trusting in him that at the end of it all you will be better. Not putting your trust in your earthly instincts or thoughts but instead transforming those trusts or instincts into faith in the Lord.
Hence, as Christians we should endeavour to worship, truly worship God in spirit, our true being. Also, since our bodies are temples where the Lord inhabits continously, we should endeavour to keep our temples with a worship filled atmosphere. Till Jesus returns in the rapture, remain true worshippers.
Love of Christ (Agape) be with you.
NB: this applies to every form of worship; Dancing, Singing, Acting and any other form given wholesomely to GOD.
