Your information does not help me love God, or my neighbors.

But your experience in the Spirit does.

To worship God in Spirit and Truth means that it is not theological.

It’s not theoretical.
It's not philosophical.
It’s not an idea in our heads.

It’s experience lived in the Spirit.

Jesus says,
"Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him."
— John 8:55

And,
“Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not [done religious works]?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
— Matthew 7:22–23

"Knowing" is life lived—not from the head, but from the heart—
the heart He gives.

Worshiping in Spirit and in Truth is to produce fruit after its own kind—
to behave the way the Spirit does,
not because I know the law,
but because doing His will is now my nature.

When Jesus says, "The kingdom of heaven is like…,"
He’s not speaking conceptually—
He’s sharing what He has seen through experience (John 3:11).

And that’s what helps us:
experience with God,
not academic theory.

As you are becoming,
as you are being born again,
as Christ is being formed in you
and is understood by way of exercise—
share.

What is it like walking with Him?
What is He like?
What did He do?
How is He helping you?

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts,
and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you
a reason for the hope that is in you,
with meekness and fear.”
— 1 Peter 3:15

Share how His life in you,
and His presence with you,
is changing the way you live.

Share what "the kingdom of heaven is like"—
your experience living with His nature,
in Spirit and in Truth.

That helps me love God.
That helps my love my neighbor.
