Jn 4:10; Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
Jn 4:23; "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is Spirit, and his worshipers must worship in Spirit and in Truth."
God is the only one who can give Water of Life. Two thousand years ago when God came in the flesh, His mission was to give this Water that no one could attain. Jesus Christ stopped along His journey to get some water from the well. When He asked the Samaritan woman for some water, she rejected Him because she didn't know who Jesus was. The Samaritan lady regarded Jesus as just a passer by to whom she shouldn't associate with. But He told her clearly, "If you knew. . .", meaning that the poor Samaritan could not recognize God who was in front of her nor what He gave.
Many say that they know God, and they know the one who they worship. But in all reality, they don't.
Jn 4:22; Jesus declared, "You Samaritans worship what you do not know. . ."
When our lives are compared to the Samaritan woman, we can see many similarity's in faith. The Samaritan did not realize that God was in front of her. Because she judged on His outer appearance, calling Him a Jew, Her mindset was already settled. Likewise, many of us have a fixed concept on how Christ will come; the way He will look and speak. This fixed concept will only lead us astray from Christ and disqualify us from receiving the water that He will give.
Also, Christ told her clearly that she worships what she does not know. How many of us can say we follow the exact teachings of Jesus Christ, for example keeping the Sabbath, Passover, and all the Feast of God? Many go on worshipping what they do not know!
Jn 4:23; "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."
Christ Ahn Sahng Hong has brought all the Truths of the bible. He is the one who gives the Water of Life that we all need. We should not follow in the same mistake that the Samaritan woman made. Lets not deny Christ Ahn Sahng Hong but come to Him who gives us Water of Life!
I thank Heavenly Father Christ Ahn Sahng Hong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem, for all the Truths and reviving this soul.
