Why is Jesus called the living water?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is referred to as the living water because He provides eternal life and spiritual nourishment to believers.

In his conversation with the Samaritan woman, Jesus identifies Himself as the source of living water, which signifies that He alone has the power to satisfy the deepest spiritual thirst of humanity. This living water represents the Holy Spirit, who dwells in believers and creates a wellspring of eternal life within them. As Isaiah points out, joy comes from drawing from the wells of salvation, which aligns with Jesus' invitation to come to Him for spiritual refreshment. Thus, calling Jesus the living water captures His role as the sole sustainer of spiritual life and the means of eternal salvation.
