Life To The Full

Do we live life to the full?

• Do we make the most of the life God has given us?
• This image of life John writes is quite extraordinary because river which carries the water of life is flowing from God's throne.
• God has and is the source of all life.
• Revelation 22 v 1-6
• This passage raps things up, the angel has finished telling of all that is too come.
• But the angel finishes with good news that we who have been marked by the seal of God will live with Him forever and drink from the River of Life.
• John 4 v 7-15 - "⁷ When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” ⁸ (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)⁹ The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) 

 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.”  

¹¹ “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? ¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”  

¹³ Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, ¹⁴ 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.”  

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”"

• Jesus told the woman of the living water that is available from Father God.
• The living water creates a quench for more. It is addictive and satisfying.
• Sometimes we feel dry and a washed out and need refreshing. God wants us to be refreshed by the living water.
• So we can do His purpose for our lives and so others will see it and want some.
• The Holy Spirit refreshes us when we invite Him to and he fills us up so much that we overflow and others round us get some of the filling.
• To live a full and exciting life we need the living water to refresh us.
• John 10 v 10 - "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
• God wants us to live a life which is full of life.
• Living life to the full is attractive and Missional because people are attracted to the exciting adventure we are on and when we live life to the full we love where we are and beheaven where we are.
