God is Spirit – Tim Conway
Since God is spirit that means one must be born again by the Spirit in order to be able to worship God.

We have one hope before this God who is awful and majestic. And it is to hide our unholiness under the blood of Christ, and to hide in the shadow of the Cross.
There is a reason why God as the creator of the heavens and the earth is so prominent in the Scriptures. God wants us to look at Him as creator and stand back and gasp and think if He’s so great, by what we see of Him in creation, then he wants us to come to the conclusion that blessed be that man whose faith rests in that God!
God does not play to the relativistic thinking of our day. God does have absolutes. There is only one opinion that matters and it’s not our opinion, it’s God’s. God knows what pleases Him and He says there is one way to please me, and that is “if you would come to Me, you draw near to me with faith.”
One of the heresies that was going on, during the time 1 John was written, was that some were saying Jesus Christ could not have actually been a man in the flesh.
Matthew 16:15 – He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Ephesians 4:17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.
