Who Is the Holy Spirit?

summary

Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well and offers her “living water”—a life-giving, never-ending supply that truly satisfies the spiritual thirst nothing else can fill. Unlike the temporary relief of earthly sources, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to those who believe in him, and that Spirit becomes an inward spring that gushes up to eternal life. This means our deepest longings—intimacy, identity, purpose, and worship—cannot be satisfied by created things without running dry again. Instead, the Spirit invites us to “drink up” by turning from false wells and receiving life in Christ, and to “overflow” in true worship of the Father in spirit and truth.
