Free Bible Study; The Living Water

What do you think of when I say the word satisfaction, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Fulfillment, being content...etc?

What satisfies you? A big meal, a cool drink....etc?

In John 4 we read about Jesus encounter with a Samaritan women at a well and the way it changed her life for ever!

John 4:11

7When 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.)

 9The 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.[a])

 10Jesus 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? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"

 13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

Thirst is a compelling need that when quenched can provide momentary relief and satisfaction. But at some point we all become thirsty again! Just like with our earthly bodies that thirst for water, our spiritual beings thirst as well and that thirst can only be satisfied with a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Each of us has a void in our souls that can only be filled with Gods spirit and when we don't have that void filled we feel empty in side. Some times we try to fill that void with many things. Our careers, spouses, kids...you name it! In the case of the Samaritan women, she filled her life with men and sexual immorality.

Jesus said in vs 13 that everyone who drinks of him will never go thirsty again. That you will create a living well that will never go dry! Do you want to quench the void in your heart? Jesus is the only way to never go thirsty again!

Imitating One Another Through Christ

God created all of us to imitate Jesus Christ and to imitate others as they imitate Jesus!


1 Corinthians 11:1

Paul taught the early Christians to follow him as he followed Christ!

This does not mean that we copy each other or mimic each other, but we need to imitate the godly qualities that we see in each others life. The difference is imitating the godly qualities and trying to copy a personality or a specific action.

God has given each of us talents and gifts that other people can imitate in us.

Like wise following someone and discipleship is not copying or mimicking someone.


1 Corinthians 4:14-17

Every single one of us should be an example for others to imitate. Just as timothy imitated Paul and Paul called the Corinthian church to imitate timothy as they both strived to initiate Jesus.

What godly qualities would your friends want to imitate in you? If it is hard for me to answer that question, then I am not living and modeling my life after Jesus.

A man who's life and godly doctrine are inline is a man that people can imitate and who's life gives examples to others on how to live like Jesus.

We need to surround our selves with godly spiritual people that can help us mature spiritually.


Proverbs 11:14

The proverbs are full of scriptures that speak of getting advice and how that will lead you to sound judgment.

This is the key to imitating others as they imitate Christ by asking and seeking advice from godly people who have been successful spiritually in handling a given situation.

To ask for advice we have to lower our pride and act on humility!


Hebrews 6:12

Again the bible calls each of us to rely on each other and to seek out godly people that we can follow and imitate!

Help is in the church through godly people but you have to be willing to get help with what ever your issue or struggle maybe. Follow them as they follow Christ!

Love The Way God Intended It

 

What would you say is the worlds definition of love? Lust, a physical attraction, sexual relations, a strong feeling....etc

Gods definition of love is quite different!

1 Corinthians 13:8 tells us that love the way God intended it never fails!

Think about that for a minute. Love the way that God intended it will NEVER fail. Love in the world is destined to fail! Worldly love breeds bitterness, regret, insecurity, immorality...etc

So what is so different about Godly love?

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

When I read this scripture I have to ask my self if I am loving my spouse in this way? Am I loving the people around me in this way?

This is the nature of God and we have to imitate him in our love for other people. Replace the word love with God and re-read this passage.

4GOD is patient, GOD is kind. GOD does not envy, GOD does not boast, GOD is not proud. 5IGOD is not rude, GOD is not self-seeking, GOD is not easily angered, GOD keeps no record of wrongs. 6GOD does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7GOD always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

What do each on of these acts of love have in common? They are all decisions and are things that we choose to do or choose not to do.

What would our marriages or our relationships look like if we approached them with this kind of love?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

People aspire to do many things. Some want to be successful in business, sports...etc but none of this is of value to GOD unless we do it out of love.

Self Control: Bible Study

Galatians 5:22-26

This is what the spirit brings! If we keep in step with the spirit this is the attributes we will have. How many times do we not listen to the spirit when it comes to practicing self control? It is so easy to not be self controlled, but God calls us to live a life of self control

1 Thessalonians 5:5-8

Anyone that is a christian does not live a life in darkness!

Titus 2:1-5

Another example of Gods commandments regarding living our life with self control. As we grow older and more mature as Christians sometimes we stop growing in self control. We may practice self control with what we call major sins (drunkenness, adultery, impurity...etc), but what about the "little sins" like Inpatients, quarrels, greed...etc?

Titus 2:11-12

We need to say no to ungodly things. God doesn't just tell us to be self controlled but he gives us his spirit to help us be self controlled, but you have to allow the yourself to be led by his spirit?

Self indulgence is contagious and self control is contagious. Studies have shown that people with a lack of self control have a negative effect on other people, like wise people mimic the people around them and a person that exercises self control will have a positive effect on the people around them!

Bad company corrupts good character! What we see and what we hear can have a profound effect in our lives. It is important spiritually that we guard our hearts from ungodly influences!

Galatians 5:16-19

Living by the spirit removes the desires of the sinful nature. Self indulgency is contageous.....who are you hanging out with? Do your friends hold the same christian values and principles that you do? Do they challenge you to be like Jesus?

We are in a battle between the will of our sinful nature and the will of spirit!

Exodus 23:2

1 Corinthians 15:33-34

Do not be misled....bad company corrupts good character!

John 13:14-16

Why should you read the bible daily? Why should you attend church every week? Why should you practice self control? Because of Jesus! Jesus is the perfect example of a life filled with self control! This is the example we shuold model our lives after!

Proverbs 16:32

We have to be men of god that practice self control!

Presenting Jesus Christ Through Our Lives

2 Corinthians 4:10-11

10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.

Think about vs 10! As Christians we carry around with us in our body the death of Jesus!

What do you think about that? It's encouraging in some respects, because we know that Gods grace through Jesus death is always upon us. It's also sobering to know Jesus is with us in every thing that we do on a daily basis.

Where has your body been? Where have you taken the cross of Christ? Into arguments with your spouse? Pornography? Inpatients with your kids? Wordly endeavors?....etc.

When I'm in the middle of sin Jesus and his death is right there with me! Do I continue to sin or allow Jesus's death lead me to repentance?

We are called to carry the cross in a way that will glorify God.

Have you carried the cross of Jesus in a way that his glory would be revealed through you to others? We need to continually think about how we are presenting our selves as Christ ambassador and the way we represent him with our lives.

How do you represent Jesus in your marriage, work, school...etc. Do people see Jesus in you as you interact with them during your daily routine?

Vs 11 tells us that the purpose of carrying Jesus's death in our bodies is so that Jesus's life will be revealed to others through us and that we should be putting our sinful nature to death.

Evangelism is not about what you say but about how you live your life. We have to be Godly examples in every aspect of our lives!

What struggles have you put to death or do you plan to put to death today?

When we have unrepentant sin in our lives, the bible says we are crucifying Jesus all over again (Hebrews 6:6).

If by our lives people can see Christ then conversely if we are not living the life Jesus called us to live as Christians, then we can have a negative impact on the way others view Christianity or even God as a whole.

DON'T LOSE HEART – THERE IS HOPE!

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Sometimes trying to live a Christian life can feel like you're wasting away! But we can't loose heart or get discouraged! Satan wants us to think that our troubles are not momentary and we are some how missing out on life, but vs 17 tells us that we are achieving an eternal glory that far outweighs them all!
