Why is Christ described as the water of life?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is referred to as the water of life because He satisfies the spiritual thirst of believers, granting them eternal life.

In John 4, Jesus introduces Himself as the 'living water' which signifies the spiritual sustenance He offers to those who believe in Him. The metaphor of water conveys the idea of life, refreshment, and quenching thirst, paralleling the role of Christ in providing eternal life to sinners. The necessity of this 'water' is painted vividly through the example of the Samaritan woman, who initially does not recognize her need. When Christ reveals Himself as the source of living water, it becomes clear that such water is essential for true fulfillment and salvation, symbolizing the eternal life believers receive through faith in Him.
