That is why Scougal’s title to his book is so good—The Life of God in the Soul of Man. From Living Water: Studies in John 4 by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, © 2018 Monergism by CPR Foundation. Here it is—God himself, God the Father, dwelling within us. John 4:10; John 4:13-14 Read chapter in The Message Bible. Let me put it like this: we are told that at the very beginning of creation God created man in his own image and likeness. God gave him an original righteousness, an original holiness; he was free from sin. Nothing more specific perhaps, and certainly nothing more moving. 15 b “ If you love me, you will c keep my commandments. A good deal of this is expressed in our greatest hymns, especially the hymns of the eighteenth century. Our Lord said that to Nicodemus: “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries. And the writings of William Law were used much to the same end, although they were not as good and as scriptural as the book by Henry Scougal. . Johannes 4 Elberfelder Bibel Gespräch mit der Samaritanerin 1 Als nun der Herr erkannte, dass die Pharisäer gehört hatten, dass Jesus mehr Jünger machte und taufte als Johannes (). (vv. He derived his human nature from Mary, his mother, but he was born of the Holy Spirit, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born as a man in that way. The truth perceived moves the heart, and that in turn moves the will. according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. But this teaching did not end with our Lord himself; the apostles were given enlightenment and understanding. 8:8–9). So it is clear that not only does the Holy Spirit dwell within us but also that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, dwells in us. 39 Aus jener Stadt aber glaubten viele Samariter an ihn um des Wortes der Frau willen, die bezeugte: Er hat mir alles gesagt, was ich getan habe. (vv. Again, there is a staggering statement in the Epistle to the Colossians, where Paul, again talking about this great privilege that has been given to him, says, “whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil [fill out] the word of God; even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints [you and me! (John 4:10, 13–14). John 4:10. Christ has enlightened him; the Spirit works in him. This, then, is what our Lord is saying to the woman of Samaria, and we have been looking at it broadly and generally. He is saying in essence, “You have no idea— ‘If thou knewest the gift of God . Jesus answered, “If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water.”,Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. All Rights Reserved, Darrell B. Harrison, Thomas Ascol, Jared Longshore, Tom Ascol, Jared Longshore, Voddie Baucham. We ended our last study by saying that obviously this “well of water” that our Lord gives will lead to a new way of living—that is because it affects the will. He has this mystic secret. Notice how the apostle Paul constantly says this: I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet [worthy] to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 … What a glorious mystery! John 4:14 Parallel Verses [⇓ See commentary ⇓] John 4:14, NIV: "but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'" But these are solemn facts; these are truths that are actually put before us. The apostle there is dealing with sins in the flesh—fornication and so on—and this is his argument: What? Joh 4,1: Jesus erfuhr, dass die Pharisäer gehört hatten, er gewinne und taufe mehr Jünger als Johannes - Joh 4,2: allerdings taufte nicht Jesus selbst, sondern seine Jünger -; Joh 4,3: daraufhin verließ er Judäa und ging wieder nach Galiläa. The text demands this, insists upon it, particularly as we consider it in the light of other and perhaps even more explicit teaching elsewhere in Scripture. John 14. They actually go on to say—and this is all a part of what it means to have this well of water within us “springing up into everlasting life”—that not only are we partakers of the divine nature, but in addition God dwells within us. Though they had been brought up in religious homes, they realized that they had never really had this life. And, even more incredible and amazing, it is a divine life. Now in the original creation, the man, Adam, in his perfection was righteous. LIVING WATER | John 4:10, 13-14 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.” … “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Here are some of the particular tests, then, that we apply to know whether we are “partakers of the divine nature. Of course, the inevitable result of this is the point that I am putting next in order, which is my fifth particular test that we should apply to ourselves, and that is a sense of surprise, a sense of amazement and astonishment. It is not surprising that the apostle’s language seems to fail him, and he talks about “the riches of the glory of this mystery.”, If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. And remember Revelation 3:20: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him . Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:25–27). 13 Und was ihr bitten werdet in meinem Namen, das will ich tun, auf dass der Vater verherrlicht werde im Sohn. 13 Und was ihr bitten werdet in meinem Namen, das werde ich tun, damit der Vater verherrlicht wird im Sohn. John 4:13, CSB: "Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again." . John 4:10: Isa 44:3; 55:1; Jer 2:13; 17:13; Zec 14:8; Jn 7:37, 38; Rev 7:17; 21:6; 22:1, 17; John 4:10 in all English translations. Many people have an historical faith in Jesus Christ. 10:34–36). You have a new nature, the divine nature, and this inevitably shows itself in your life. . How frequently we fail to realize this! put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. . The Samaritan Woman. But now Henry Scougal convicted them. This is the key to true Christian living and to rejoicing in Christ. And John had just said that this life is in the Son: “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (v. 12). Joh 4,4: Er musste aber den Weg durch Samarien nehmen. If you were a member of the royal family, you would not try to hide it, and we are told here that we are members of the family of God. (Col. 3:1–4). (Matt. . 2 – obgleich Jesus selbst nicht taufte, sondern seine Jünger –, 3 verließ er Judäa und zog wieder nach Galiläa. We have seen, first, that it is a heart religion, and, second, that it is a mighty power that takes up the whole person—mind, heart, and will. (vv. New King James Version Update. But the counter-distinction that I have in my mind is that our Lord is not just talking about some urge toward a new life or a new way of living. It is a power, as we have been emphasizing, that changes the whole personality; but it is more than that. Oh, they are just letting you know they realize that you have the life of God in your soul; they see the difference and do not understand you.”. It is the power of divine life, so that we are “partakers of the divine nature.” This, of course, is a great mystery. That is it—“partakers of the divine nature.” The apostle John in his first epistle makes the same point when he talks about the “seed” that remains in the believer, and not only the seed. This is made plain in many passages. . To some their belief in Jesus remains an historical fact and not a saving faith. So listen to what our Lord himself is recorded as saying in the fourteenth chapter of this great Gospel. Some have tried to reduce those words to mean, “Christ among you.” That is included, but it cannot stop at that; it goes further. I have already referred to the book that greatly influenced Whitefield and the Wesleys two hundred years ago, a book by old Henry Scougal, a Scotsman who lived toward the end of the eighteenth century. (4:22–24). 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.” Read full chapter. The meaning of the phrase created in the image of God is that God gave to man certain characteristics of his own divine nature and being. 13 z Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that a the Father may be glorified in the Son. However, the truth that was brought home to them was that Christianity is nothing less than the life of God in the souls of men. 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. We have been let into the secret. She was amazed that He, a Jew, would speak to her, a Samaritan woman - Jn 4:9-- Jesus used the opportunity to tell her about "living water" - Jn 4:10-14 2. But we do not stop even there because we must again take this a step further. We cannot work it out in detail, and we must not try to do so. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
