The Spirit as Living Water
Commentators unanimously explain that the "water" and "floods" promised in this verse are a powerful metaphor for the Holy Spirit. Just as rain revives a parched and barren land, the Spirit refreshes, cleanses, and brings spiritual life to those who are "thirsty" for God. The verse itself clarifies this, moving from the symbol (water) to the reality (the Spirit).
