- Salvation comes from the Jews, not the Samaritans, but is given to everyone
- How worshipping in spirit and truth makes these things possible

Theos = God is
Pneuma = Wind, Breath, Spirit
True Worship in spirit and truth is humbling ourselves through our emotions and God’s truth to surrender our lives to Him
God can only be worshipped in spirit and truth (all encompassing) – There is no other way.
Our brokenness is made whole and our life finds satisfaction in Him when we surrender to worship in both spirit and truth
John 4:25
“The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.”
“The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.”
John 4:26
“Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”
“Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”
The only appropriate response to Jesus should be all encompassing worship in spirit and truth.
