What does the Bible say about coming to Jesus for spiritual sustenance?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible invites those who are spiritually thirsty to come to Jesus for living water, emphasizing that it is free and requires no payment.

Isaiah 55:1 states, 'Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters.' This call highlights the availability of spiritual sustenance found in Christ. In John 4, Jesus offers the Samaritan woman living water, symbolizing salvation and eternal life. This living water is a gift from God, indicating that it is not something we can earn but must receive by faith. In the historic Reformed view, the emphasis is on grace, demonstrating that we come to God with nothing to offer — our own works and merits are inadequate. Instead, we receive 'water, wine, and milk' without money and without price, emphasizing the unmerited favor of God toward sinners.
