The Thirst This World Can"t Satisfy

Thirst

Needing or wanting something to drink

This human body created by an Almighty Creator has to have water to survive.

God gave man thirst to know he was in danger and his body needed attention.

In the Bible, thirst is also used to signify the need for a Savior Who is Christ the Lord.

It is the desire for man to know God and His will and way.

That thirst is for righteousness that comes from a sinless substitute Lamb.

God requires blood atonement for the remission of sin.

That blood was The Lamb Christ The Lord.

There was no one who could satisfy until Christ.

Thirst for forgiveness leads to repentance and it is only achievable through Christ.

It can never be quenched other than a relationship through repentance.

We are made aware of sin through the law, followed by repentance and then forgiveness through Christ.

Jesus took the form of man, while still being God's Son.

This miraculous conception brought on by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit ending in the virgin birth.

A babe who grew into a man-God remaining sinless unto His preordained death.

Repent!

This is the eternal thirst that will be satisfied!!

Romans 3:23

[23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Hebrews 9:22

[22] Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

1 Peter 2:24

[24] He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

1 Peter 3:18

[18] For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,

Revelation 5:9

[9] And they sang a new song, saying, 

    “Worthy are you to take the scroll

        and to open its seals,

    for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God

        from every tribe and language and people and nation,

Luke 5:32

[32] I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

Romans 7:7-25

[7] What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” [8] But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead. [9] I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. [10] The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. [11] For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. [12] So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

[13] Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. [14] For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. [15] For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. [16] Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. [17] So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. [18] For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. [19] For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. [20] Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

[21] So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. [22] For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, [23] but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. [24] Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? [25] Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
