The river originates at "the throne of God and of the Lamb." This appropriate, since the basis of Jehovah's life-giving provisions is the ransom sacrifice, and this was provided because Jehovah "loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him migh not be destroyed but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) The water of life also involves God's Word, which is spoken of as water in the Bible. (Ephesians 5:26) However, the river of water of life includes not only the truth but also ever other provision of Jehovah, based on Jesus' sacrifice, for recovering obedient humans from sin and death and granting them everlasting life. - JOHN 1:29; 1 JOHN 2:1, 2.
