“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24

Different Beliefs: Theism – belief in the existence of a god or gods Natural Theism – a study of existence and character and God in light of nature and reason Deism – belief that God created the world, but denies His supernatural intervention (will not allow God to perform miracles)

Different Beliefs: Pantheism – belief that the universe and God are the same (laws of nature and universe = God) Atheism – a disbelief of the existence of deity – there is no deity Agnosticism – belief that the existence of God is unknown and probably unknowable Humanism – philosophy that usually rejects supernaturalism and elevates man

Different Beliefs: Naturalism – the view which ascribes everything to natural causes (often called evolution, rationalism). It is always anti-supernatural Polytheism – belief in or worship of more than one God Monotheism – belief that there is but one God (no trinity)

It is no wonder that the world is so confused in the realm of religion! “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24

The Bible Christian: …believes in an all-present, all knowing, all powerful God! ….believes that the Bible is divine revelation! Divine: “from God” Revelation: “an uncovering by God; not something that man could discover for himself”

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26 “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Ephesians 4:4-6

“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16

Except Person THREE Persons

“and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ ;” Ephesians 3:9 “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:16)

A proper understanding of the Godhead will make it easier for us to have the right attitude when we worship our God in spirit and truth “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24
