(Nuggets from John 4:14)
This was a promise our Lord Jesus gave the Samaritan woman.
The PROMISED GIFT is eternal in its duration. The literal water with which we quench our thirst perishes is not durable, as it evaporates and passes away, or is ‘as water spilt upon the ground which cannot be gathered up’, but this gift springs into everlasting life, and when we are done here on earth, it goes with us right into eternity.
But he who receives the Holy Spirit, and the grace thereof, though he will be daily saying, Give, give, and be continually desiring further supplies of grace, yet he shall never want or be in lack of any good thing that is a necessity in this life; the seed of God shall abide in him, and this water shall be in him a spring of water, supplying him from now till the rest of eternity in Heaven.
This shows us that the Spirit of God is such an invaluable gift that no HEAVEN-BOUND Christian should lack, and once received, you should cherish Him and endeavor to retain Him.
Sin drives the Holy Spirit away, so even though you receive Him today, duty demands that you avoid anything SINFUL or UNHOLY for the rest of your sojourning here on earth, so that you don't lose Him.
Only those who fulfill the conditions for retaining the Holy Spirit will have this water springing up into everlasting life, keeping and sustaining them from now till eternity.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
