In this episode of Contemporary Conversations on Christian Classics, we delve into Chapter 3 of Stephen Charnock’s The Existence and Attributes of God, unpacking the profound truth that God is spirit, as revealed in John 4:24. Far from being an abstract concept, God’s spirituality has profound implications for how we live, worship, and relate to Him.

The discussion explores Charnock’s arguments for God’s spiritual nature, emphasizing His invisibility, omnipresence, immutability, and independence—attributes impossible for a physical being. The episode also tackles the Bible’s use of anthropomorphisms, explaining these metaphors as tools to help finite humans grasp God’s actions and attributes without limiting His infinite nature.

Finally, the episode examines the practical impact of God’s spirituality on worship, Christian life, and identity. True worship flows from the heart, aligning with God’s spiritual nature. Our relationship with Him is rooted in an inner transformation, shaped by His Spirit working within us. As believers, we are invited to reflect His character, surrendering to His authority and finding freedom and joy in His presence.

Join us for this transformative conversation and discover how embracing God’s spiritual essence leads to deeper worship, a richer relationship with Him, and a life aligned with His eternal purpose.
