Said the Lord - Whosoever drinks of material water shall thirst again. Life is a continual hunt for satisfaction and meaning, but the void within remains, until spiritual life is received from Christ. Here is how this life remains within, an ever-growing experience of walking with the Lord.

'Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.'

The apostle shows how in the last days antagonism will be aimed at the work of Christ. He answers - what are doctrines of devils? Are fake teachers aware they are lying? - along with other key questions.

'After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.'
