Wells of Salvation, November 1

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Isaiah 12:3. RRe 307.1

The true principles of Christianity open before all a source of happiness, the height and depth, the length and breadth of which are immeasurable. It is Christ in us a well of water springing up into everlasting life. It is a continual well-spring from which the Christian can drink at will, and never exhaust the fountain.—Testimonies for the Church 1:565. RRe 307.2

Why do we stay away from the fountain, when we can come and drink? Why do we die for bread, when there is a storehouse full? It is rich and free. O my soul, feast upon it, and daily drink in heavenly joys. I will not hold my peace. The praise of God is in my heart and upon my lips. We can rejoice in the fullness of our Saviour’s love. We can feast upon His excellent glory.—Testimonies for the Church 1:98. RRe 307.3

The last words spoken by Christ to John were: “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. When we respond to God, and say, “Lord, we come,” then with joy shall we draw eater out of the wells of salvation.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 371. RRe 307.4
