By: Walter Thomas Prideaux Wolston

God's Declaration.

“I WILL GIVE,”

saith God, "unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely " (Rev. 21:6⁶And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Revelation 21:6)).

God's Invitation.

"LET HIM TAKE,”

saith God. " Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely " (Rev. 22:17¹⁷And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17)).

Faith's Response.

“I WILL TAKE,”

saith faith, " the cup of salvation, and will call upon the name of the Lord " (Psa. 116:13¹³I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. (Psalm 116:13)).
