“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water — Jesus promises that the believer will become a source of 'living water' flowing out. The scripture reference is debated; it may allude to Isaiah 55:1 (thirst), Ezekiel 47 (rivers from the temple), or Psalm 42 (living water). The image of water flowing from within (from the 'belly,' koilia, the innermost part) suggests an internal transformation that overflows to others. Believers, filled with the Spirit, become conduits of God's life-giving presence to the world.
