FOOD THAT ENDURES TO ETERNAL LIFE

John 6:27 
Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."

WHAT IS THE FOOD THAT ENDURES TO ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH THE SON OF MAN WILL GIVE US?

Proverbs 9:5
"Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.

John 6:53 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

THEREFORE, THE FOOD THAT ENDURES TO ETERNAL LIFE IS THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN AND THE WINE IS HIS OWN BLOOD THAT HE IS OFFERING TO US.

John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

HOW DO WE PARTAKE OF THE BREAD AND WINE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS OFFERING TO US?

John 6:35 
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

ONE OF THE ESSENTIAL STEPS TO PARTAKE OF THE BREAD JESUS IS OFFERING IS TO COME TO HIM AND BELIEVE IN HIM.

WHAT ARE WE TO BELIEVE IN JESUS?

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 5:8 
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

1 John 2:2 
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

WE MUST BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR US TO ATONE FOR OUR SINS AND THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.

John 3:18 
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

John 3:16 
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

WE MUST BELIEVE THAT THE CHRIST IS THE ONE AND ONLY SON OF GOD.

John 5:24
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

WE MUST BELIEVE IN THE WORDS OF CHRIST AND BELIEVE IN GOD WHO HAS SENT HIM.

Acts 2:38 
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.


Acts 3:19 
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

Mark 16:16 
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

THERE IS A NEED TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM THAT CHRIST IS OFFERING.
WE MUST REPENT, TURN TO GOD, AND BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF CHRIST JESUS FOR FORGIVENESS OF ALL OUR SINS.

Acts 20:21 
I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

WE MUST TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE AND HAVE FAITH IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

IN RECEIVING CHRIST AND THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST, WE ARE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST, AND WE ARE BORN IN A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST.

CHRIST THEN LIVES IN US.

WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WE THEN BECOME UNITED WITH CHRIST, AND THUS:

Acts 26:18 
to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

THUS, OUR EYES WILL BE OPENED FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, AND WE WILL BE REDEEMED FROM THE POWER OF SATAN, THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD, AND THAT WE MAY RECEIVE THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND BE SANCTIFIED BY OUR FAITH IN CHRIST.

John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--

THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST, AND BELIEVED IN HIS NAME, HAS BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD.

1 John 3:10 
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

WE WILL KNOW IF WE ARE ALREADY GOD'S CHILDREN WHEN WE DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHEN WE LOVE OUR BRETHREN.

1 John 4:7 
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

WE THEN KNOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN BORN OF GOD WHEN WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

1 John 4:16 
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

WHEN WE LIVE OUR LIFE IN LOVE, GOD LIVES IN US.

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

GOD IS LOVE... IF WE HAVE GOD IN OUR HEARTS, WE LOVE... 
IF WE DO NOT LOVE, WE ARE NOT OF GOD, AND THEREFORE, WE CANNOT BE CONSIDERED AS CHILDREN OF GOD.

1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.

1 John 3:23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

WE WILL KNOW THAT WE BELONG TO GOD'S CHILDREN: WHEN WE FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENT OF LOVING ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST HAS LOVE US.

BELIEVING IN CHRIST ALSO MEANS DOING WHAT HE COMMANDED, WHICH IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS HE HAS LOVED US.

HOW DID CHRIST LOVED US?

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

CHRIST GAVE HIMSELF FOR US...

HOW DO WE THEN LOVE ONE ANOTHER?

Romans 12:10 
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Galatians 5:14 
The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

1 Peter 1:22 
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.

Romans 13:10 
Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Ephesians 5:2
and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

MAY THESE BE OF HELP.

MAY WE LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE, JUST AS CHRIST LOVED US.

GOD BLESS US.....
