Jeremiah 2:13
King James Version
13 For my people have committed two evils;
they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters,
and hewed them out cisterns,
broken cisterns,
that can hold no water.
What is the "fountain of life"?
Who can have it?
How can one have it?
I was mighty thirsty when GOD made me born again.
That was over four years ago.
His WORD quenches my thirst.
And makes me do wonderful things.
In His service.
Scripture tells us more:
Psalm 36:8-9

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied
with the fatness of thy house;
and thou shalt make them drink
of the river of thy pleasures.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life:
in thy light shall we see light.

and the heavens and the earth shall shake:
but the Lord will be the hope of his people,
and the strength of the children of Israel.

dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain:
then shall Jerusalem be holy,
and there shall no strangers
pass through her any more.
Joel 3:18-21
King James Version
18 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the mountains shall drop down new wine,
and the hills shall flow with milk,
and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters,
and a fountain shall come forth
out of the house of the Lord,
and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation,
and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness,
for the violence against the children of Judah,
because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever,
and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will cleanse their blood
that I have not cleansed:
for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.

and with fire:

Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,

Ye must be born again.

as the scripture hath said,

because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Sir, thou knowest.
And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne
shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them,
nor any heat.

shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
