Water of Life (Christianity)
In Christianity the term "water of Life" (Greek: ὕδωρ ζωῆς hydōr zōēs) is used in the context of living water, specific references appearing in the Book of Revelation (21:6 and 22:1), as well as the Gospel of John.[1] In these references, the term Water of Life refers to the Holy Spirit.[1][2][3]
The passages that comprise John 4:10–26 are sometimes referred to as the Water of Life Discourse.[4] These references in the Gospel of John are also interpreted as the Water of Life.[3]
The term is also used when water is poured during Baptismal prayers, praying for the Holy Spirit, e.g., "Give it the power to become water of life".[5][6]
