John 4:14a

Today's verse, we will meditate on John 4, 14, the first part of it. But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Hallelujah! We will see some of the great truths of these words. So, we will meditate on each word of this verse.
The first word "but" it says what links the hope of this promise to their hopelessness of the previous statement? The previous statement says everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again. It Compares with this physical water to the spiritual water. Why then, all the world did not receive the spiritual drink. The answer is simple man do not want to give up their sin, and they are deceived into believing that by coming to Christ, they will lose their pleasure and gain nothing. They do not realize that they will lose nothing and gain everything. 
The next word, whosoever says, all are lost, therefore, all can be saved. None are excluded. When Jesus died on Calvary, he died for all the mankind, and for all the time Jesus died for every single human being who ever lived and who is now alive and who is to live in the future? 
The next word drinks, this means, there is a part for  man to play. God does not give salvation to those who refuse to receive. The receiving belongs to man, and it is the drinking. The psalm 34 8 says, oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Here, Jesus uses water as the symbol for salvation. That I will give him. Jesus alone can give this living water or salvation. The salvation is free, but Jesus Paid a price for this for our salvation. If one tries to Merit, earn or purchase this living water, one automatically forfeits it's possession.
Salvation is by Grace of God Philippians 2:8 It is by the grace of God, and it is a gift of God.
 Shall never thirst again, this is a unconditional guarantee, it means searching is over the pearl of great price has been found, and but yet given, free of charge.
It is given free. It is. A gift to you? Let us receive it. 

Prayer 
Let us pray, Heavenly Father. I thank you for the gift of Salvation, the Living Water which you have given unto us. We pray and commit ourselves to you. We receive it with thanks. We give all glory to you in Jesus precious name, I pray.

John 4:1,2

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

MY TESTIMONY

Maria and I were married on 29th July 1981. In 1982 My colleague in Mico called me for a prayer meeting in which I accepted Jesus as my personal savior this changed my life . I was born again I began to trust God for all things in my life. The first tragedy struck us when Maria was diagnosed with a heart problem in 1986. At that time, Mr. Dorairaj told us to seek God's help and so we went to his house for prayer. When we went for prayer pastor said that God has already healed her as we had come in faith expecting a miracle. We did the Cardiac Catheterization test at Sindi Hospital and she was found to be perfectly fine, God gave her a lease of life. In 1987, Danny was born despite the fact that the doctors had told us there would be complications during childbirth, but by God's grace, Maria had a normal delivery. In 2003, she again became ill and the doctor suggested for an open-heart surgery. We fixed the surgery after much prayer at Narayana Hrudayalaya. On 27th May in the ...
