John 4

In ancient times they called spring water living water because it seemed alive as it bubbled up from the ground.

He meant the spiritual water that quenches spiritual thirst and gives life

God is called ‘the fountain of living waters’ (Jeremiah 2:13)

He is the only one who can provide the living water, the spiritual blessings that he offers every sinner

3 Things about Living Water:

It’s common for people to try and satisfy their God-created inner thirst through everything EXCEPT what Jesus gives. People are thirsty – they want, they long, they search, they reach; but only what Jesus gives satisfies to the deepest levels of man’s soul and spirit.

Drinking is an action, but an action of receiving – like faith, it is doing something. God provides the water, we drink gladly in obedience and faith.

Drinking is such a remarkably easy thing, it is even more simple than eating.”

Spirit and Truth:

To worship in spirit means you are concerned with spiritual realities!

To worship in truth means you worship according to the whole counsel of God’s word, especially in light of the New Testament revelation. It also means that you come to God in truth, not in r a mere display of spirituality.

“True” worshippers vs. “false” worshippers

Those who worship God must worship in harmony with his nature.. were in a building, but worship is to GOD… so the worship we offer is from our heart!!

God Is Spirit:

We do not know what a spiritual body is like… we can’t see someones spirit with our physical eyes.

In contrast to the “physical” Gods of Rome and the Greeks
