 "question": "How is water a picture of the Holy Spirit?",
 "answer": "Water is sometimes used in Scripture as a picture of the Holy Spirit, and the parallels are striking. Water is an absolute necessity of physical life, as the Spirit is of spiritual life—there is no spiritual life apart from His indwelling and no spiritual production apart from His filling. Water quenches physical thirst; the Spirit satisfies the soul. Water washes; the Spirit sanctifies, cleansing our souls through the constant application of confession. Water refreshes the body; the Spirit renews the soul when it aches under the blows of life. And water is a source of power—just as we can harness a river to light up a city, we can harness the power of the Holy Spirit to light up the world around us.",
