Need Some Living Water?


A benevolent love is precisely how we should face life. This action was demonstrated by our Savior Jesus Christ who was sent by God to die for our sins. He was the definition of perfection and showed us love by dedicating Himself to our salvation by dying on the cross. This is the ultimate example of what love is.  

"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
1 John 4:9-10

How then can we accept this action of love?

In John 4 Jesus was speaking to the women at the well explaining to her the gift He gives all. 

"Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.'...'whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'" 
John 4:10,13

There are two options for us; one is living in the world with an unquenchable thirst, the other receiving our salvation from the Lord that will never run dry. The last option can be rather refreshing.  Care for a sip?
