What is the imperishable food that God speaks of? Eating the imperishable food means believing in the One whom the Father has sent.

[John 6:32-35]
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.’ Then they said to Him, ‘Lord, give us this bread always.’ And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.’”

John 6 records the miracle of the five loaves and two fish, where Jesus blessed five barley loaves and two fish, and after many people ate until they were full, there were still twelve baskets left over.

So many people followed Jesus. Jesus said to them, “You follow me because you are full, but you must eat the food that does not rot.”

[John 6:26-27]
“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.’”

Then what is the imperishable food that God speaks of?
Eating the imperishable food means believing in the One whom the Father has sent.

[John 6:29]
“Jesus answered and said, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.’”

In other words, the bread that God the Father is giving now is not the manna, the bread that Moses gave during the wilderness period, but Jesus Christ. God the Father sent His Son as the bread of life.

That Jesus Christ was sent to this world as a lamb for all sinners who were destined for hell because of sin. And when He turned 30, He was baptized by John the Baptist, who was the representative of mankind and the last high priest, through which all the sins of the world were transferred to Jesus and He removed all the sins of the world. 

And because ‘the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23)’, Jesus took away all the sins of this world through baptism and went to the Cross, was judged in our place, and saved us eternally from sin. And He rose again after three days and gave us eternal new life.

The imperishable bread of life.

This is the imperishable bread of life. Believing in Jesus' baptism and blood, which took away all the sins of us sinners, is eating His flesh and blood, and believing in this is what we must do.

Before I met the Lord by believing only in the blood of the Cross, there was sin in my heart. 

So even when I cried and prayed for repentance, fasted in prayer, and spent all my time serving, sin still remained in my heart.

Therefore, my heart was always empty and hollow, and I was sad in pain and unsatisfied with anything. 

However, now, I have become one who has eaten the bread of life by believing in the water (baptism), blood, and Holy Spirit that Jesus took away all my past, present, and future sins.

Now I am no longer spiritually thirsty or hungry, and regardless of my shortcomings, I live as a righteous person, not a sinner, through the bread of life.

Those who have received salvation by eating the bread of life look to the Lord and pray when faced with difficulties, entrust their troubles to Him, and live a life that pleases Him by following the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

[Matthew 5:6]
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled."

Now, instead of perishable food, I eat daily bread by doing God's work every day through believing in Him whom He has sent.

What about you?

Have you become free from sin by eating the bread of life through believing in Him whom God has sent, in other words, by believing in Jesus' baptism and blood?

Baptism That Save Us Through Jesus' Baptism Among Three Types of Baptisms Recorded in the Bible [ Bible Study 1]

Image
  The Meaning of Three Types of Baptisms Recorded in the Bible There are three types of baptisms in the Bible: John the Baptist’s baptism for repentance, Jesus’ baptism from John the Baptist, and the water baptism received by believers. 1. Jesus’ Baptism from John the Baptist First, the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist in the Jordan River was, just as sins were imputed to sacrificial offerings through laying on of hands in the Old Testament, a baptism He received as the Lamb of God to have all the sins of humanity imputed to Him. This was the beginning of God’s just plan of salvation, and through baptism, Jesus took upon Himself all the sins of the world in a just manner through imputation. ‘But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit ...

Which Came First: Faith in God's Righteousness or the Law? [Bible Study 2]

Image
  Before giving the Law, God first gave the righteousness of faith to become children of God through faith.  As recorded in Genesis, Adam and Eve, Abel, Seth and Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and his descendants were justified by faith in God’s Word without the Law. Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” However, during their 400 years of slavery in Egypt, the Israelites lost this righteousness of faith and lost God. Therefore, God gave the Law through Moses to let them know that God exists, and to make them realize their sins and return to the holy God. And He gave the sacrificial system to the Israelites who were under the curse of the Law (in sin) so that they could receive redemption through the atonement of sins. Looking at the sacrificial offerings that God established in the Old Testament: 1. There were sin offerings offered by individuals 2. There was the Great Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) once a year to atone fo...

I am truly thankful to God that I can testify through this Christian blog about becoming sinless through the gospel of water and the Spirit. [Christian Testimony 14]

Image
  Thank you, Pastor. Speaking of my testimony on this Christian blog , I can say that I am living a fulfilled life today. This is because the gospel of water and the Spirit has given meaning to my life. The problem of mankind lies in sin. It is also problematic that Christians remain in sin. However, Pastor Paul C. Jong’s teachings completely liberate us from the burden of sin. Faith based only on Jesus’ blood on the cross is a burden that false pastors impose to keep us in bondage for life, and this is truly a serious problem today. Fortunately, in my case, I had the opportunity to discover this beautiful gospel of water, blood, and the Spirit through Pastor Paul C. Jong’s eBook “Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” which can be freely downloaded from The New Life Mission’s website, translated into languages worldwide. I am truly grateful to God for leading me to this gospel. I really need your encouragement to become a faithful co-worker in this beautiful m...

Are you still living in sin because of wrong beliefs? [Christian Testimony 8]

Image
  The "baptism" that Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist was the only way Christ took upon Himself all our sins. Through the baptism from John the Baptist, who was a high priest according to the order of Aaron, He took on the sins of the world, and afterward paid the price for all these sins by shedding His blood on the cross. The cross is actually the result of Jesus Christ taking our sins through baptism. If Jesus had not been baptized, His death would have been meaningless. Now I am righteous and sinless through faith in the gospel of water and the Spirit. And the resolution for future sins can be achieved by acknowledging my sins and through God’s righteous law of salvation. The faith of the righteous is believing that when we confess our sins, even these sins were already taken by Christ 2000 years ago through His baptism, and He paid the price for them by shedding His blood on the cross. In the past, before I encountered the gospel of water and the Spirit, eve...
