"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." -John 7:38
Todays scripture post. I wanted to say a little about this because it is one of my favorite scriptures and because a lot of people ignore it because they don't understand what it means.
This is so important. Many Christians already know that "rivers of living water" means the Holy Spirit. And "belly" means inner most being or your spirit.
I want to point out that this scripture doesn't just say to "believe" in God. Many people will say that they believe in God. But this scripture says more than that. It says to believe in God as the scripture says.
There is another scripture in the book of James chapter 2 verse 19 that says, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
So looking at these scriptures we can see that to "believe" means more than to agree that God exists. It means that we must believe as the scripture says.
More about this in the next post!
