Why is Christ referred to as the living water?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is called the living water because He provides spiritual sustenance and satisfaction to all who believe in Him.

In the sermon, the well of water that Hagar discovered symbolizes Christ, the living water who quenches spiritual thirst. Just as Hagar was shown the well only when she was in desperate need, believers find Christ when they recognize their own emptiness. Jesus is presented in Scripture as the source of living water (John 4:10), promising that whoever drinks from Him will never thirst again, highlighting the sufficiency and life-giving power of His grace. This sufficiency is further emphasized by the fact that the well was present before Hagar saw it, indicating that Christ's redemptive work was decreed before the foundation of the world.
