Joh 7:38 | MHM | STEP | v. 38 : He continues, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him” (John 7:38 ). Jesus promises that those who trust in him will not only have their own thirst quenched, but will become a source of spiritual blessing to others. The “living water” refers to the Holy Spirit and the new life he brings. This echoes Old Testament promises like Isaiah 44:3 and Ezekiel 36:25-27 , where God promises to pour out his Spirit.
