.....inexhaustible

The gospel reveals Jesus Christ as an inexhaustible fountain—ever flowing, never diminished, sufficient for every need of the human soul, this truth becomes deeply personal. Our hope, strength, and standing before God do not arise from within ourselves, but from an endless supply found in Christ alone. Scripture invites us, “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters” Isaiah 55:1. The call is not to earn, but to receive.

Righteousness by faith directs the believer away from self and toward Christ as the sole source of life and acceptance. Jesus declared, “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst” John 4:14. This promise speaks not only of forgiveness, but of ongoing renewal. The Christian life is sustained by continual dependence on Christ, drawing daily from His grace, mercy, and power.

The apostle Paul wrote, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13. His confidence rested in Christ’s sufficiency, not his own endurance. “The soul that is united with Christ becomes a partaker of the divine nature… drawing constantly from the inexhaustible fountain” Steps to Christ, p. 100. In Christ, there is no scarcity—only abundance.

Too often, we attempt to live the Christian life by relying on past experiences or personal resolve. Yet we are taught  that yesterday’s grace cannot sustain today’s battles. Jesus invites us to come continually, not occasionally. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink” John 7:37. Each trial, temptation, and failure becomes an opportunity to drink more deeply from Christ’s fullness.

This inexhaustible fountain also overflows into the lives of others. Jesus promised that those who drink will become channels of blessing: “Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” John 7:38. When believers rest in Christ’s righteousness, their lives reflect peace, patience, and love—not as forced behavior, but as the natural overflow of communion with Him. “It is not by our own merits that we are justified, but by faith in Christ; and as we draw near to God, He draws near to us” Faith and Works, p. 107. The more we come, the more we receive.

In Jesus, we never reach the bottom. He is an inexhaustible fountain, freely given, eternally sufficient. To live by faith is to drink daily—and to find that His grace is always enough.
