“Jesus answered them and said, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.’” John 6:26-27.
“Then they said to Him, ‘What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.’” John 6:28-29.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” John 5:24.
The woman of Samaria’s sinful lifestyle of having had five husbands and then living with another man may mislead us but her conversation shows that underneath there is an intelligent, seeking, woman.
Her sinful lifestyle should be elaborated on before continuing. Put anyone before the Lord and there will be some sin that they would not like to have brought up. It does not matter who you are, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.
Christ’s deity was discussed in “Christ at the Well, John 4:1-8”, posted on 7-5-17, though it is a subject which by far cannot be covered in so few words.
Jesus Christ is called in the Scriptures, “the Word”, (the Logos, “the express image of His [God’s] person”, Hebrews 1:3), John 1:1; “Rock”, 1 Corinthians 10:4; “Teacher”, Matthew 8:19; “Mediator”, 1 Timothy 2:5; “Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords”, 1 Timothy 6:15; “Shepherd and Overseer of your souls”, 1 Peter 2:25; “the light of the world”, John 8:12; “the resurrection and the life”, John 11:25; “I AM”, (same as YAHWEH, Exodus 3:14), John 8:58; to name a few.
