Jesus on true worship

Jesus’ discourse with the woman from Sychar attests to the fact that God must be worshipped in spirit and truth. “You don’t know what you’re worshiping. We know what we’re worshiping, for salvation comes from the Jews. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:22,24)

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” (Exodus 20:3-5, emphasis mine)
