“ Summary, Part 3 (final) ” 2. HIS SPIRITUALITY CALLS US TO WORSHIP HIM IN TRUTH [50:13], which is His word, especially the Gospel. The Gospel liberates us from the Levitical format given to the Jews and into the spiritual priesthood. Divine revelation, not human tradition, defines how we are to draw near to Him. CONCLUDING QUESTIONS [56:23]: 1. Does God’s supreme spirituality enter your thoughts when you come to worship Him? 2. Do you see how irreverent is formalistic or creative worship? 3. Do you understand that worshipping God acceptably is not something peripheral to the Christian life?

“ Summary, Part 2 ” God’s capacity to feel is unoriginated, eternal, ideal, perfect, pure, absolute, immutable. He does have emotions, but they are not to be mistaken for human emotions. His are exalted. 4. HIS DIVINE MORALITY [33:36]. Only God is morally ideal: He can never be morally improved or tarnished. He is incapable of flaw (yes, there are things God cannot do): He can never look upon evil with favor, let alone commit it. Even the heavens are not pure in His sight. He cannot be tempted by evil, nor can He tempt to evil. 5. HIS DIVINE PERSONALITY (His triunity) [38:55]. Even before the creation, God could have holy communion; He can never be lonely. Thus He didn’t create us for companionship with Him. No other personality is like this. B. THE EXPERIENTIAL IMPORTANCE OF GOD’S SPIRITUALITY [42:45]. In Jn 4:24, the Lord is stressing this practical principle. In the passage, He addressed the timeless religious misunderstanding that worship is prefaced by place and tradition. True worship is rooted in God’s nature, and He seeks and requires worship in spirit and truth. What does this mean? 1. HIS SPIRITUALITY CALLS US TO WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT [48:39]: that is, with our hearts and entire souls in sincerity and not empty ritual, which God condemns.

“ Summary, Part 1 ” [Pastor Nutter credits his former professor, Pastor Greg Nichols of Grace Immanuel Reformed Baptist Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the outline of this message, which can be found in Pastor Nichols’ book, *What does the Bible say about God?: The Biblical doctrine of God*.] In this message, we look at the things that uniquely true of God as a supreme Spirit [starting at 4:10 of the audio]. Though spirits have communicable traits, divine spirituality is incommunicable. God is supreme in His faculties. So we consider things that are true of His spirituality alone. A. DIVINE INCORPOREALITY [12:36]. This means immaterial: without a body. 1. HIS MAJESTIC FORM [13:05]. He is thus invisible, indivisible, impassible (without appetites), and indissoluble (permanent). 2. HIS DIVINE ANIMACY (His power) [16:00]. He is unoriginated, omnipotent, immortal, immutable, and ideal. 3. HIS DIVINE FACULTY (His supreme mind, will, and affection) [22:00]. His understanding is infinite and exalted (“My thoughts are not your thoughts”); By His will, He works all things to its purpose; none of them fail, and none are changed by anyone. It is absolute: without cause or restraint. His exalted will is understood as God’s sovereignty.
