LIVING WATER

LIVING WATER

Living water refers directly to the Holy Spirit. The water that Christ gives becomes a fountain: the water that Christ gives is the Spirit clearly. I understand the “fountain” (John 4) to be a new source of affection formed in the believer by the Spirit and inseparable from Him. Our affections are directed into new channels - channels which lead upwards to God.

I am exercised that the great fundamental doctrine of the presence of the Spirit, which is involved in the truth of living water, should not be weakened amongst the saints.
