A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
And as the blessing of salvation (the water) is living, so also is the Fountainhead—He who is here called “the Gift of God.” “If thou knewest the Gift of God, and who it is (the Person) who says to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of Him.” It is not dead doctrine, dry formulated dogma which the soul wants, but a living Being. “My soul,” says the psalmist, “thirsts for God, for the living God.” Paul, in words often misquoted, and in the misquotation their sense and beauty mutilated and destroyed, thus exults, in what may be called a dying testimony, “I know,” (not “in whom”) but, “I know whom I have believed.” It was not sects, or creeds, or doctrines, or churches, or ecclesiastical organizations, that the dying hero clung to, in the hour of departure, but the glorious Person of the divine Immanuel, the living Presence of the ever-living, ever-loving Savior—the Brother, the Friend on the throne, whom he had learned to love more dearly than all the world beside!
