WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT "STRONG, LIVING, WATER?"

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" (Ps 42:1-2) 

Revelation 21:6 (KJV): And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

God "the spring of living water" (Jer 2:13; 17:13) 

Jesus invites us in John 7:37-39: "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink" (v. 37), repeating God's invitation: "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters" (Is 55:1)

Jesus' invitation at the Feast of Tabernacles is repeated in the invitation at the end of the book of Revelation:

"Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life" (Rev 22:17).
