Do you know the Living Water?
LIVING WATER
Both natural and spiritual life requires water… God created
human beings to enter into the world in birth through water. We need clean water to sustain our lives -
water free from parasites, harmful bacteria, and toxins. Drinking water that is not clean makes you
and your children sick with runny tummy that brings death. Also, not drinking
enough water will make you feel weak and confused. If you miss water for many
days, you will die.
Our physical need for water reflects our need for spiritual
water. The Bible says we all thirst for
Living Water. John 4:7-13 says a
Samaritan woman was at a well, drawing her daily water. She was embarrassed by her life because she
had lived with many men. Jesus walks to
the well, asks the woman to give him a drink. She was surprised that Jesus, a
Jew, would even speak to her because Jews and Samaritans disliked each
other. Jesus explained that if she knew
who He was, she would ask him for Living Water. Jesus said, “Whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again. Whoever drinks the water that I
will give him will never be thirsty. The water that I will give him will become
in him a well of life that lasts forever.”
Have you felt the Jesus won’t speak to you because of who
you are? Have you felt a desire for
Living Water to satisfy your thirst for truth? Jesus can cleanse you from fear,
shame and evil . Ezekiel 36:25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be
clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. John 7:37 If any man thirst, let him come
unto (Jesus), and drink. He that believeth on (Jesus), as the scripture
says, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. This promise is made to you and your
children as it says in Is. 44:3 “I will pour
water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit
upon your offspring, and my blessing
on your descendants.”
Who
do you say that Jesus is?
John 3 says there was a
man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus. He
came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, did you come from God; for no one can do
these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered, “ I say to you, unless one is
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus said, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a
second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “ Unless one is born of water
and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit. Do
not marvel that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of
it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who
is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus
answered, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered, “For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting life. For
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
world through Him might be saved.”
Isaiah 12:2-3 says
we should draw water with joy from the wells of salvation.
Do you want Jesus to cleanses you from every act
of wickedness? Do you want to be saved from the grip of evil? Do you want to
know how to draw living water from the wells of
salvation? Do you want the life God
intended for you?
1. Accept that you need spiritual cleansing and acknowledge
Jesus alone can bring you new life.
2. Believe that Jesus, perfect in goodness, died on the cross, He suffered a horrible death - a penalty that should have been ours for the evil choices we make. Jesus willingly suffered that penalty Himself so He can cleanse us with His precious blood. By Jesus Christ sacrifice you are washed clean from sin and free to have relationship with God Almighty.
3. Confess aloud for God to forgive you, to wash away your old life and birth you into a new life in Christ. Thank Him for rescuing you with His amazing love.
