BECOMING A VESSEL FOR LIVING WATER

Isaiah 12:3 — With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Isaiah 58:11 — The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your needs in parched places and make your bones strong, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail.

Jeremiah 2:13— For my people … have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water.

Zechariah 14:8 — 8 On that day living water shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of it to the eastern sea and half of it to the western sea; it shall continue in summer as in winter.

John 4: 13-14 —9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?”
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?”
13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”

John 7:37-39  —37 On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, 38 and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.’ ”

Revelation 21:6 —6 Then [God] said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.”
