Subject: Who or what is the "gift of God" |
Bible Note: Hi GeneralWas, I look at John 4:10 exactly as you do. In my personal copy I have inserted 'He" in place of the "who it is". I am simply of the opinion that neither of the Persons is an "it". Thank you for your reply. In Acts I see Simon looking for a gift, an "it" if you will, and his heart was not right before God; he did not recognize who He was. We see that when we compare the Scriptures. When I compare John 4 with John 17, I would go a little further into the passage than you did to the fifth verse where it says, "Now , Father, glorify (Me) together with Yourself,..." James says that He (Himself) does not tempt anyone. Then James goes on and says that every perfect gift comes "down from the Father of lights,... In all these verses, Jesus claims to be God. I see the living water as the spoken word of God. Thanks for any more comments. Later, Ray |
