It is written that Christ demands we treasure God above all (Matt 6:24). Our whole lives are supposed to be centered upon service to the Father through Christ. In addition to praise, gratitude, and affection, our rational service of worship rests in our efforts for Him (Rom 12:1 NASB).
In contrast to where we would worship, we would begin to worship God in our spirit and in truth in His presence. Not solely in a dedicated location as it is written (Jn 4:20), but specifically in spirit and truth (Jn 4:23-24). Through Jesus, having access to God to worship Him by our spirit, His Holy Spirit, and in truth.
The people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
Matt 15:8-9
Whereas the LORD Himself makes alive our spirit, we are engaged and sensitive to cast our affections upon Him. To glorify, praise, and worship Him. For who and what He is. For what he has done and is going to do. For all His attributes and everything revealed.
It is in this spirit, by His Spirit, that we are able to recognize, serve, and overflow with the truth of our Lord Jesus. The truth by which to see and worship God for His glory through Christ.
