In the New Testament, there are 7 things that are “living” that we would not ordinarily consider as living:
—Water: Jn. 4:10; 7:38 Jesus our Living Water; He also flows out of us
—Bread: Jn. 6:51 Jesus is our Living Bread
—Oracles: Acts 7:38 Moses received living oracles
—Word: Heb. 4:12 The Word of God is living
—Way: Heb. 10:20 We come near Him by a new and living way
—Hope: 1Pet. 1:3 Jesus has given us a living hope
—Stones: 2Pet. 2:5 We are His living stones
We are only fully "alive" when we turn our whole life over to Him and allow His life to flow into us and through us.
