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 ...

The Only Way to Heaven is Through Faith in Jesus Christ Who Came by Water, Blood, and the Spirit [Christian Testimony 31]

Image
Jesus was baptized to take away all the sins of the world, and He had to die on the cross, shedding His blood to pay the price for all sins that were transferred to Him through His baptism. Therefore, I have no sin in my heart because I believe in the baptism and blood of our Lord Jesus who is 100% God. The problem of daily sins and future sins that we commit due to our weakness can be solved by our faith in confessing our sins before God and believing that Jesus came to this world, already took away all our sins through His baptism, and eliminated them all by shedding His blood on the cross. Before believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, the sins in my heart kept tormenting me, and I lived in fear of going to hell if I died. Although I believed in Jesus, I had sin before I encountered Pastor Jong’s sermon book “Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” , before I believed in the true gospel of the water and the Spirit. Back then, I didn’t understand the me...

A Book Review of Return to the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit by Reverend Paul C. Jong [Book Review 4]

Image
This book leads people to discover the righteousness of God in the true gospel of the Water and the Spirit. Modern Christians always study the Bible, listen to the Word, pray more fervently than anyone, show their devotion by offering their material possessions, and strive to erase their sins through prayers of repentance. However, they lack assurance of faith before God regarding how to eternally remove the fundamental sin they were born with, how to be born again, and how to receive the Holy Spirit. It is time to leave behind Christian doctrines, which are stained with human thoughts, return to the Bible, and accept the Word God has spoken to us with the heart of a child. What I am sharing today is a book review from a brother who was truly born again from sin after reading RETURN TO THE GOSPEL OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT . This book is a collection of sermons by Reverend Paul C. Jong, a servant of God, which delivers the Word of God exactly as it is in the Bible. This book is provid...
