The Gift of God in John 4: A Well That Never Runs Dry
The gift of God in John 4 is living water, offered to a woman who came for ordinary water and got an eternal well. It cannot be earned, only received. This study follows that offer through Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, and Acts 2:38.

Ezekiel 48:35 Meaning: The LORD Is There Forever
