WATER OF LIFE

Imagine an IV you can plug into your arm that will allow you to live forever. The Bible promises water that leads to eternal life, here are a few places it is mentioned:

“My People have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.” (Jeremiah 2:13)

“Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water (from the well) will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’” (John 4:13-14)

“He said to me: ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the water of life.’” (Revelation 21:6)

“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.” (Revelation 22:1)

Jesus gives water, God gives water, and the water flows from the throne of God and of the Lamb. We have a few clues of what that water actually is:

If we look in the Old Testament in Deuteronomy 32:1-2, it says: “Listen, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.” The teachings and words of God are likened unto rain or dew.

Absence of God’s word is referred to as a famine in Amos 8:11: “’The days are coming,’ declares the Sovereign LORD, ‘when I will send a famine through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.’” What is a famine caused by? Usually a drought, right?

Conclusion: The water we must drink to obtain eternal life is God’s word which encompasses the words of Jesus. So the question you should be asking yourself is: Am I drinking the RIGHT spiritual water? ~
