‘The Blessing Of Being United With Christ.’

‘Jesus Introduces Real Worship.’
John 4:19-24.
a) John 4:19. The woman at the well thought Jesus was a Prophet.
b) John 4:20. She was confused about the place of worship.
c) John 4:21. Jesus introduced to her new thoughts and understanding of Worship.
d) John 4:22. The Jews knew about Worship because Salvation was of the Jews.
e) John 4:23-24. Here is the big point, not only for the woman at the well but for all of us:-
1- Now is the hour when True Worshippers Worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth.
2- The Father seeks True Worshippers to Worship Him.
3- God is Spirit.
4- They that Worship God must Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.
(Through this Second one I am so glad that Jesus Introduces Real Worship)

Chris.
God chose us in advance. What a Blessed and Redemptive Truth. We did not choose God but rather God chose us. This does not mean that we were someone special, indeed we were not, we were sinners, but God has chosen us and Redeemed us through the Blood of Jesus Christ and He has given to us a new nature and a new life with which to Glorify Him.
