Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – June 17, 2025 (The Third Day – Genesis 1:9-13) John 4:10 – Jesus replied and said to her, “If you knew about 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 give you living water.” The Gift of God, the Holy Spirit The living water Jesus is referring to is the pouring forth of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 44:3; Joel 2:28; John 7:37-39; Luke 24:49; Acts 2:1-4; Matthew 3:11). The gift of God, which is the living water is shown to be the gift of the Holy Spirit several times in both the Old and the New Testament (John 7:37-39; Isaiah 44:3; Acts 2:38, 8:20, 10:45, 11:17; 2 Timothy 1:6). The Holy Spirit is the One Who brings to us the new birth and function in our lives to bring forth all the pleasures and fruits of the nature of God in our lives (John 3:5; Psalms 36:8 46:4; Galatians 5:22; 1 John 3:24; Romans 14:17; 2 Peter 1:3-4; Titus 3:5; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18; Ezekiel 36:26-27; Hebrews 8:10, 10:16). If we hunger and thirst after righteousness, God will supply us with His Spirit so that the righteousness, peace, and joy of the Kingdom of God fills us to overflowing (Isaiah 55:1; Matthew 5:6; John 3:5, 4:14, 6:35, 7:37-39; Romans 14:17; Matthew 6:33).
