Getting to Know the Nature of God

John 4:19
We started this series of lessons "Getting to Know God" by talking about the existence of God. We began discussing the three arguments for the existence of God, concluding that the only way to know God is by faith. Hearing comes by faith and faith comes by the Word of God. So faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the Word of God. So if you want more faith, study the Word of God and that is where you get faith by studying the Word of God.

The Jews would normally take a long route, just so they wouldn't have to pass through the country of a Samaritan and avoid having any dealings with them. But Jesus, this time, told his disciples, I must go through Samaria, because Jesus had some business to attend to. There was a woman of Samaria that He particularly wanted to talk to. A woman that He wanted to win to the saving knowledge of Himself and we call her "the woman at the well", the woman of Samaria. This woman is engaged in a conversation with Jesus in several of these verses and Jesus begins to talk to her and talk to her about God. I want to pick up the conversation in verse 19.
