Question 1: When I read the words of Almighty God, “Only Christ of the Last Days Can Give Man the Way of Eternal Life,” I remember what the Lord Jesus once said, “But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). We already know the Lord Jesus is the source of the water of life and the way of everlasting life. Could it be that Almighty God and the Lord Jesus are the same source? Are Their work and words both of the Holy Spirit? Are they done by the same God?
