Living Water


John 4:1-10 Jesus Talks to a Woman at the Well

John 4:9, "The Samaritan women said to Him (Jesus), 'You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?' (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)" Praise the LORD, He doesn't put up the barriers of discrimination as does mankind!

John 4:10, "Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of GOD and Who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have ask Him and He would have given you living water.' " You may ask, "What is living water?" "In the Old Testament, many verses speak of thirsting after GOD as one thirsts for water (Psalm 42:1, Isaiah 55:1, Jeremiah 2:13, Zechariah 13:1) GOD is called the fountain of life (Psalm 36:9), the spring of living water (Jeremiah 17:13). In saying that He would bring living water that could forever quench a person's thirst for GOD, Jesus was proclaiming to be the Messiah. Only the Messiah could give this gift that satisfies the soul's desire. (Bible Commentary)" Jesus' gift of this salvation is not only for the Jews (who as a nation, rejected His gift), but it is also for the Gentiles, Praise  GOD!  

Acts 13:46-47, "We had to speak the Word of GOD to you (Jews) first. Since you (the Jews) reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. For this is what the LORD has commanded us, 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' "

Salvation for eternity with our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD has come to the entire world, only through Jesus Christ! He was not just despised, beaten, and crucified! But, He took upon Himself as He hung on the Cross, billions times trillions to the quadrillions of power of sins upon Himself for all of mankind from Adam and Eve to the last human being He will create! All you need do is accept His free gift of salvation by asking Him to forgive you of all of your sins. The Holy Spirit will come into you and you will belong to Almighty GOD forevermore. Your heart will change and you will change from doing things that you know is sin. You will never want to do them again! Hallelujah to His Holy Name! The Holy Spirit will place the excitement of knowing Him within you and as the following verse says, "No eye has seen, no ear heard, no mind has conceived what GOD has prepared for those who love Him!" (I Corinthians 2:9)
