To worship God in truth, says New Testament scholar D. A. Carson, “is first and foremost a way of saying that we must worship God by means of Christ. In him the reality has dawned and the shadows are being swept away.”4 And Jesus is the one who gives the life-giving Spirit, who produces rivers of living water in a believer’s soul (John 7:38–39). It’s the Spirit who brings life to our spirits and enables us to know, love, and worship God the Father through Jesus Christ.
