INTRODUCTION TO Revelation 22 This chapter contains a further account of the above city, a confirmation of the visions of this book, and the conclusion of it. The city is further described by the river that ran by it, or through it, called a river of water of life, said to be pure and clear as crystal, and to have its rise from the throne of God and the Lamb; and by the tree of life in the midst...
John Gill
And he showed me a pure river of water of life,.... Not baptism, which used to be administered in rivers and pools of water; and which engaged to purity of life; and, the power and authority of administering which was from God and Christ; but in this Jerusalem state there will be no use nor need of ordinances; for Revelation 22:1 belongs to the preceding chapter, and is a continuation of the same...
Matthew Henry
In this chapter we have, I. A further description of the heavenly state of the church, ver. 1-5. II. A confirmation of this and all the other visions of this book, ver. 6-19. III.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Abounding joy, varied joy, ever changing, yet ever...

It is the King who saves his people; yet the atonement is ever connected with the sovereignty: “He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Here again we have God and the Lamb uniting in giving that “water of life” which flows down to us by God’s grace through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the lamb. There is no other “water of life” except that which springs from a Sovereign God and a substitutionary sacrifice: “a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” This sets forth the blessings of salvation that come to us...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

What but pure...
