Worship in spirit and in truth??

[HelenaZF]

Saw your topic this morning, but I don't think deep thoughts very well in the AM, so just coming back to this now.



I've always seen the "truth" part of that verse as having to do with actual Truth...as in the truth of the scriptures. And the spirit part as having to do with our awareness of the spirit (His and ours) as we worship Him.





There is a verse in Psalm 51:6 that says: Surely you desire truth in the inner parts ; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. I guess in that sense, one could say that the Lord was talking about the integrity of our lives as held up to the mirror of the Word. And if we have learned that "wisdom" that was taught to our "inmost place"...it will affect our character and actions to bring us in line with the truth of the scriptures.



Darlene's statement is using the word truth in the sense of being "integrity". While that is a good thought...I'm not convinced that the Lord's intent in this statement is solely about our personal integrity.



I like to hear some other views on this though, because this is something I will admit that I haven't completely thought out.
