Introduction
John explained that the “living water” (v.
38) was the coming gift of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit within a believer satisfies his need of God, and provides him with regeneration, guidance, and empowerment.
as Scripture has said: Christ always points back at Scripture.
The Holy Spirit Provides
Life
jn 4:10
jn 4:
the water rite itself symbolized the fertility and fruitfulness that only rain could bring.
Timing
Satisfaction is in Christ!
Jn.
Streams of living water will flow from within one who believes in Jesus.
That is, he will have a continual source of satisfaction, which will provide life continually (cf.
4:14).
When Jesus added, As the Scripture has said, He did not identify the Old Testament passage(s) He had in mind.
But He may have thought of Psalm 78:15–16 and Zechariah 14:8 (cf.
Ezek.
47:1–11; Rev. 22:1–2).
Power
the water rite itself symbolized the fertility and fruitfulness that only rain could bring.

The Gospel according to John (p.
322).

the water rite itself symbolized the fertility and fruitfulness that only rain could bring.
Jesus referred to the special baptizing, sealing, and indwelling work of the Spirit in the Church Age, which would start on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:5, 8).
Jesus said He would “send the Spirit” to His followers (John 15:26; 16:7).
“The Spirit had not [yet] been given” to indwell believers permanently (cf.
Ps. 51:11).
That happened after Jesus was glorified, that is after His death, resurrection, and Ascension.
“Glorified,” “glory,” and “glorify” are used frequently in John’s Gospel (John 7:39; 11:4; 12:16, 23, 28; 13:31–32; 14:13; 15:8; 16:14; 17:1, 4–5, 10)
John 4:

What is Jesus talking about?
what does it mean to have the spirit?
the water rite itself symbolized the fertility and fruitfulness that only rain could bring.
Why is this practical?
Provision
The Holy Spirit Purifies
Water always has a purifying effect in Scripture.
Indwelling shows purity
This is not emotionalism, or experience. . . it is an actual indwelling at salvation that seals the believer for eternity.
Eph.
1:
Indwelling pushes to more purity and holiness.
Eph.
4:30
The Holy Spirit Gives Power
the water rite itself symbolized the fertility and fruitfulness that only rain could bring.
Power to abound in the Lord!
Power to abound in the work of God!
Power to admonish one another.
Heb.
10:
Power to reach people for Christ!
