🚨🚨 Is God a Spirit ❓️
John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
🔥This concern comes from the scripture in John 4:24 most of the time.
📌If we were to read that scripture literally, then that would mean our spirit would have to leave our bodies to worship God. But that is not the case. This scripture uses “spirit” to describe an attribute of God. Hebrews 12:29 says that “God is a consuming fire”, and 1 John 1:5 says that God is “light”. But is God really just these things? No, these scriptures describe attributes of God.
Genesis 1:26 says we are in the image and likeness of God, and in Genesis 5:3, we are told that :
✅️✅️Seth is in the image and likeness of Adam. James 3:9 says that we are made after the similitude of God. 1 Corinthians 11:7 says we are in the “image and glory of God”. Hebrews 1:3 says that Christ is in the express image of God. Also, in Philippians 2:6, it says Jesus Christ is in “the form God”, We know that Christ had a body as it says in Philippians
👌Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, “If having a body is not only not needed but not desirable by Deity, why did the Redeemer of mankind redeem His body, redeeming it from the grasp of death and the guaranteeing it would never again be separated from His spirit in time or eternity?”
