Jesus is identified as the source of life through His proclamation that belief in Him leads to rivers of living water flowing from within us.
In John 7:38, Jesus asserts that believing in Him results in rivers of living water flowing from the believer's belly, symbolizing the abundant life and satisfaction found in Him. This metaphor emphasizes that true life comes from a relationship with Christ, who offers eternal nourishment that transcends physical needs. The Holy Spirit, who dwells within believers, further confirms this by directing us towards the truths of Christ and empowering us to live in accordance with God's will, demonstrating that He is indeed the source of life.
