The document references several biblical passages that depict a river as a symbol of God's blessings and eternal life. The river is described as flowing from God's throne and giving healing, delight, and living water to God's people. It is said to be a source of eternal life and gladness for the city of God.

2. Then
the
angel
showed
me
the
river
of
the
water
of
life,
bright
as
crystal,
flowing
from
the
throne
of
God
and
of
the
Lamb
through
the
middle
of
the
street
of
the
city;
also,
on
either
side
of
the
river,
the
tree
of
life
with
its
twelve
kinds
of
fruit,
yielding
its
fruit
each
month.
The
leaves
of
the
tree
were
for
the
healing
of
the
na>ons.
Revela&on
22:1-­‐2
(ESV)

3. They
feast
on
the
abundance
of
your
house,
and
you
give
them
drink
from
the
river
of
your
delights.
For
with
you
is
the
fountain
of
life;
in
your
light
do
we
see
light.
Psalm
36:8-­‐9
(ESV)

4. “…but
whoever
drinks
of
the
water
that
I
will
give
him
will
never
be
thirsty
again.
The
water
that
I
will
give
him
will
become
in
him
a
spring
of
water
welling
up
to
eternal
life.”
John
4:14
(ESV)

5. “Whoever
believes
in
me,
as
the
Scripture
has
said,
‘Out
of
his
heart
will
flow
rivers
of
living
water.’”
John
7:38
(ESV)

6. There
is
a
river
whose
streams
make
glad
the
city
of
God,
Psalm
46:4
(ESV)

7. The
River
Makes
us
GLAD!
I. The
RIVER
makes
us
right
with
God

8. Since
it
was
the
day
of
Prepara>on,
and
so
that
the
bodies
would
not
remain
on
the
cross
on
the
Sabbath
(for
that
Sabbath
was
a
high
day),
the
Jews
asked
Pilate
that
their
legs
might
be
broken
and
that
they
might
be
taken
away.
So
the
soldiers
came
and
broke
the
legs
of
the
first,
and
of
the
other
who
had
been
crucified
with
him.
But
when
they
came
to
Jesus
and
saw
that
he
was
already
dead,
they
did
not
break
his
legs.

9. But
one
of
the
soldiers
pierced
his
side
with
a
spear,
and
at
once
there
came
out
blood
and
water.
He
who
saw
it
has
borne
witness—his
tes>mony
is
true,
and
he
knows
that
he
is
telling
the
truth—that
you
also
may
believe.
For
these
things
took
place
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fulfilled:
“Not
one
of
his
bones
will
be
broken.”
And
again
another
Scripture
says,
“They
will
look
on
him
whom
they
have
pierced.”
John
19:31-­‐37
(ESV)
