Hi Ricky
Jesus tells us, that hypocrites, "draw nigh" to Him. :o
Mat 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8 This people (the hypocrites) draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but THEIR HEART is far from Me.
Mat 15:9 But IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Thank you for your question.
Blessings

John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe Me, the hour cometh, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
v. 22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
v. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him.
v. 24 God is a (‘a’ is not in the Greek) Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
Not that you can, but you “MUST worship Him in spirit and in truth.” Not that you can or can’t, you “must.” We must worship “in spirit and in truth.” There’s the answer as to how, when and where we are to WORSHIP God.
When Israel was condemned for idolatry, they didn’t worship “in truth.” Those statures and stuff that they bow down to, that’s not truth and it’s not spiritual, but very physical. You can bust the nose off of those gods.
REAL TRUE AND SPIRITUAL WORSHIP IS OBEDIENCE
So ‘true’ worship is obedience to the truth! All of the truth, all of God’s word. To know what that is you have got to pay attention to all the words. I’m going to show you a couple of examples of how I do that and why I can take any truth of God and just keep going with it, there is no end.
Matt 4:10 Then said Jesus unto him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.
Luke 6:46 And why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
That’s worship!
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
That’s worship!
John 14:21 He that hath My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me:
That’s worship!
Deborah-Leigh:
Yes we MUST worship God, and we MUST obey God, and God says, we SHALL. 8)
Gods Spirit causes what Must be, to be. We have no power of free will. Like understanding comes only from The Spirit, so to does obedience.

judith collier:
I should have said people THINK they are serving and loving God but like it was said here unless the holy Spirit is in control they only think it!
