Everlasting life Quote by Jimmy Swaggart
““Whosoever drinks of this water (water of the world) shall thirst again (presents one of the most simple, common, yet at the same time, profound statements ever uttered; the things of the world can never satisfy the human heart and life, irrespective as to how much is acquired): 14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst (“Whosoever” means exactly what it says! Christ accepted is spiritual thirst forever slaked!); but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into Everlasting Life (everything that the world or religion gives pertains to the externals; but this which Jesus gives deals with the very core of one’s being, and is a perennial fountain).””
