Pahleeessse get it…..

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

As I laid in bed this morning listening to the rain I was silently thanking God for it. We have been blessed all summer in a year of drought with plentiful rain here in the south. As I came into my study God began to press on my heart the lost and the Living Water that they are without for eternity. Sometimes I get so passionate I want to grab those close to me and just shake them asking “why don’t you just get it?” Our world right here in America is experiencing a falling away in every area from the God centered nation that we were founded upon. Our president to our preachers are not standing upon the ground of Christian morals; with only Christ as the way to eternal paradise. The ideas that all roads lead to God will lead many straight to hell.

Do you understand that no matter how good you think you are, you are eternally lost without the realization of your sin under God as the righteous judge whom we will all stand before? You only have one way for your sin debt to be paid for; through a humble repentant heart and a plea for forgiveness by Christ sacrificial death for you. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. You will stand guilty before a righteous God in an eternal court and either headed to paradise or hell; we all will stand before Him regardless of our lives or faith. But you can stand before Him as a child of His covered by the blood of the sacrifice He gave for you under His Son. Imagine if you gave your sons life for someone; only for them to say it did not matter and they denied that sacrifice you gave for them.

The women at the well in John above was an outcast of society and all she desired was water. Her encounter with Christ changed her life as she found someone who truly loved her, not as the men that had passed through her life before Him. She found a hope in Christ and what He spoke to her. John 4:13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” 15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
