1. THE SPIRITUALITY OF GOD: (Vs. Materialism). "GOD IS SPIRIT."

a) Statement of the Fact, John 4:24: "God is Spirit."

Meaning: The Samaritan woman's question, "Where is God to be found?"

etc. On Mt. Zion or Gerizim? Christ's answer: God is not to be

confined to any one place (cf. Acts 7:48; 17:25, 1 Kings 8:27). God

must be worshipped _in spirit_ as distinguished from place,

form, or other sensual limitations (4:21); and _in truth_

as distinguished from false conceptions resulting from imperfect

knowledge (4:22).

b) Light on "God is Spirit," from other Scriptures.

Luke 24:39: "A spirit hath not flesh and bones," i. e., has not

body, or parts like human beings; incorporeal; not subject to human

limitations.
