When the Bible explains our need for Christ it uses the analogy of thirst and desire. This article explains that thirsting for Christ and desiring Christ are what lie at the heart of faith.

This is the fifth article in a nine part series on the Beatitudes as recorded in Matthew 5:3-12. This article looks at the fourth Beatitude, which describes Christians as being hungry and thirsty. This hunger and thirst is for being righteous before God. Satisfaction for this hunger for righteousness is found in Christ.
