Jesus says unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Holy Spirit Father, but by me. Joh 14:6 Jesus introduces the sandwich prayer - praise, petition, praise.      Isn't it interesting that Christians have been praying this prayer for 2000 years and yet most Christians do not know the name of the Holy Spirit Father?      Oh yes, some Christians will give you a litany of names from the Old Testament, especially YHVH, but still refer to Him as God (which is just a title) or Father which is just a role.      When Jesus spoke these words to His disciples He was leading them to a monumental Truth.     They were still trying to understand who this man was.     So, He could not have held on to them if He told them that the name of the Father was Jesus and that the Father was standing before them and speaking to them.      So, Jesus instructs them to pray to the Father and hallow His 'name' without telling them the Father's name.     The disciples like Christians today either assumed the 'name' to be YHWH or Lord or God.      It was only at the end of His ministry, before going to the cross, that Jesus told them who He is, who the Father is and what the Father's name is Joh 14:6-14 though He had laid down many hints.     Joh 1:18 Joh 5:37 Joh 10:30.      We are to refer to the Holy Spirit Father of Christ Jesus using His name which is Jesus.     We are to ask the Holy Spirit Father for what we need using the name of Jesus Joh 14:13 Joh 15:16 Joh 16:23.

Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth. Joh 17:17 We are washed in the Word Of The Lord and transformed from Grace to Grace by it.      The implication for those not in the Word is that they are unsanctified and so, spiritually filthy.      Worst of all, they may not realize they are filthy and in conflict with their Saviour.      But for those in the Word, Abundant Life in power, peace, joy, faith and love manifests more and more.

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. Joh 14:17 Jesus is the Truth.     His Spirit is the Spirit Of Truth.     The Spirit Of Truth is the Holy Spirit.     The Holy Spirit is God.      The Holy Spirit of Jesus was with them while He ministered on earth and His Holy Spirit would come to be in them on the day of Pentecost.      Why do people, including Christians, not receive the Holy Spirit, the Spirit Of Christ?     They cannot see Him.      No one can see the Holy Spirit and so men go about creating a god that they can see or at least visualize.      It is idolatry to try to visualize the Holy Spirit apart from His express image, Christ Jesus.     This is why we come to the Father ( Holy Spirit) in the name of Jesus.      We receive the Holy Spirit of Jesus by asking in faith just like we received remission of sins and were Born Again.     Both come by and through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

In the above verses we receive the full picture of what Truth is
   ➛ Jesus
   ➛ His Word
   ➛ His Spirit

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Holy Spirit Father in spirit and in truth: for the Holy Spirit Father seeks such to worship him. Joh 4:23 A true worshipper is one who offers acceptable worship to the one being worshipped.      How is our Heavenly Father gratified?         ➛ the Spirit is the Holy Spirit Eph 4:4    ➛ The Holy Spirit is our Heavenly Father Mat 1:18    ➛ The Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Christ Jesus Joh 10:30    ➛ the Word is Truth Joh 17:17    ➛ Jesus is the Truth Joh 14:6 For us to please the Lord Jesus Christ we fellowship with Him in His Holy Spirit in meditation upon His Word.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Joh 4:24 Jesus is Spirit Soul And Body just like we are 1Th 5:23.         ➛ We are created in the image of God, so    ➛ God is Spirit Soul And Body.      This verse reveals to us that God is first and foremost Spirit    ➛ He is the Holy Spirit.         ➛ The Holy Spirit is the Father of Christ Jesus.         ➛ Jesus and the Father are one.         ➛ Jesus is the express image of His Holy Spirit    ➛ Jesus is God.      Any Worship that does not acknowledge the Holy Spirit does not acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ.     Such worship is futile.      The Word Of The Lord is Truth.     Joh 17:17 Any Worship that does not honour the Truth does not acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ.     Such worship is futile.

So, Jesus cannot be fully received or correctly worshipped apart from the fullness of Truth.   

I firmly believe that the fragmentation in Christianity is a result of partial Truth being used to divide us.   

If an elephant is behind a curtain and you are allowed to reach through the curtain to touch the elephant you will draw conclusions that are not correct:
   ➛ it is snake if you touch its snout
   ➛ it is a tree if you touch its leg
   ➛ it is a sword if you touch its tusk

To correctly identify the object as an elephant you must see the entire elephant.   

So it is with the Truth.   You must see it all or you will be a little off in your understanding of it.   

Everyone knows something about Jesus, the Truth.   

Everyone knows a little bit of scripture - the WordOfTruth

Everyone has life which comes from the Spirit - the SpiritOfTruth

But partial knowledge of or experience with the Truth invariably leads to error.   

If a person attempts to work on an automobile engine without understanding how the engine works and what each part does and how it all fits together, more than likely they will make a mess when trying to work on the engine.   

This is what has happened with Christianity.   

The Catholic Church got us off on the wrong path principally by packaging the Truth.   This should have been an obvious mistake as Jesus IS Truth - the sum total of all Truth.   How do you package ALL Truth?   You can't.   

So, for 1800 years the Catholic version of Christianity has missed the mark by substituting ritual, dogma, sacraments for AllTruth.   

But Protestantism is not much better, most demonomations of which deny the Oneness of God and relegate the Holy Spirit to god 3rd class.   

The trinity error fragments God!   

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Christ Jesus.   How can you receive Christ and virtually reject His Spirit?   

So, as theologians use their rational minds to try to make sense of what the rational mind cannot know, they come up with creeds and dogmas and explanations which miss the mark.   

Many believers are taught that they can be ushered into heaven through the auspices of their 'spiritual leader'.   

In the case of Catholicism it is the CHURCH or the POPE.   

In Protestantism it is the denomination or the pastor.   

How many believers are intimate with the Word Of Truth?   

How many believers are intimate with the Spirit Of Truth?   

How can those not intimate with the Word Of Truth and the Spirit Of Truth be intimate with the Truth - Christ Jesus?   

Christianity is not an organization that once you join, you are a member in good standing.   

Christianity is about an intimate, personal relationship with the Truth.   

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Joh 8:32 To know the Truth means that we have:    ➛ Heard it    ➛ Believed it    ➛ Received it    ➛ Doing it See He Be Re Do.

This verse is saying that you have to KNOW the Truth to be free.   Not KNOWING the Truth implies that you are in bondage to error of one sort or another.   

Some groups of believers emphasize Christ.   
Some groups of believers emphasize the Word.   
Some groups of believers emphasize the Spirit.   

But emphasis of either 1 or 2 of these aspects of Truth to the exclusion of 1 or 2 of the others results in error.   

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to the Lord must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6 Believe that    ➛ Jesus is Mighty God    ➛ Jesus is loving and giving    ➛ Jesus will reveal Himself to those who seek Him    ➛ Jesus Himself is your exceeding great reward Gen 15:1 Joh 17:3 Faith is the power to appropriate what Grace has provided.     It pleases the Lord Jesus for us to receive what He has made available to us.     2Co 8:9

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of the Lord. Rom 10:17 We are only able to obtain the Faith Of Christ by hearing, believing and receiving His Words.     When we do, He makes us free in the New Birth and gives us His Holy Spirit who takes the Word we know and adds power to it enabling us to do the works that Christ did.      We are totally dependent on reaching people through the Word Of The Lord.     It is the Truth.     It is revelation, It is salvation, It is victory, It is peace, It is love.     It is joy in the Holy Spirit.

But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, Jud 1:20 Pray in your Prayer Language to be strengthened spiritually, physically and mentally meditating on the Word Of The Lord on which your faith rests.      Paul said that he spoke with tongues more than all the people at corinth.     He was talking about exercising his Prayer Language.

In considering the implications of the above verses we must conclude that the Word Of Truth and the Holy Spirit Of Truth are critical for knowing Christ The Truth.   

So in order be able to worship in Spirit And Truth we must KNOW the Truth:
   ➛ Christ The Truth
   ➛ Word Of Truth
   ➛ Spirit Of Truth

To KNOW the Spirit Of Truth is to be filled with the Holy Spirit Of Christ Jesus.   

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, Gal 4:19 The concept of ` Christ being formed in us` connects with the transformation and renewal of our minds to the Mind Of Christ so that our Head Faith becomes Heart Faith.      Paul goes on to share his concern that some believers were backing away from Truth and returning to legalism and ritualism.

The Holy Spirit is our teacher.   His subject matter is the Written Word and Incarnate Word.   

To study the Word without the teacher leads to misunderstanding and error.   
Witness all the denominations of Christianity.   

Jesus told His disciples to not do anything until they be empowered by His Holy Spirit.
