Jesus, Eternal Life

For the bread of God exists the one coming down from heaven and giving life to the world.*

What is life? there is an earthly life and a heavenly life, there is Spirit and there is flesh and blood. There is Word and Spirit of Life. What gives Life? the life of the earth requires flesh and blood, blood is the life flow but is this the life of the heavenly? Flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of heaven, only that which is heavenly. The fleshly requires perishable food, but the heavenly requires imperishable food. Jesus is the living bread from heaven, the One who came to earth. He is Life to the world, thus to the fleshly man Jesus gives the right to become children of God, to become a part of the heavenly, of Life. It is the Spirit that gives Life and the words of Jesus, they are Spirit and they are Life. In Him we eat of the Word of Life and drink the Spirit of Life. Jesus is the Light and Life of men, the Word of Life, to feed on His words is Eternal Life.

Jesus said, "the one born of flesh exists flesh, and the one born of Spirit exists Spirit."* So we see the distinction between the earthly and heavenly also we find a requirement of entering the kingdom of God, one must be born of imperishable seed, being born from above, or said other ways, born again, born of God, born of Spirit. Paul writes, "Now this I declare, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does the perishable inherit the imperishable."* The children of God are born of an imperishable seed, by the word of God, "having been born from on high not of seed perishable but of imperishable seed, by the Word, alive God and abiding."* Jesus is living, alive, the Word of God, who was God, abiding with the Father, who became flesh and dwelt among men, "in Him exists Life and whose Life was the Light of men."*

Jesus the Word of Life became flesh, He took on the form of the earthly, of flesh and blood, so that He would take dominion over death and to those who believe, give Life.* John calls Jesus the Word of Life, the One in whom they saw, heard, and touched, this Eternal Life was revealed to them. When we believe in Jesus as Paul writes, when we hear the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation, and when we believe we are marked with the Spirit as a guarantee of our inheritance.* We are born of the imperishable Word of Life and of the Spirit of Life, thus we partake of the heavenly food that endures unto Eternal Life. Jesus said, "I exist the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me."*

Jesus is the Living Bread that came down from heaven which exists Life, over the life of this world. The flesh doesn't give eternal life, it is useless for heavenly Life. This living bread is not like the manna in the wilderness which perished, this is bread that doesn't perish, which gives eternal Life to those who eat it. Is there Life in death? Is there Life in blood? What or who gives Life? Jesus said, "I exist the living bread," as He is the Word who became flesh. Here we see a condition of receiving eternal Life; one must believe Jesus "came down from heaven" or as John writes He came in the flesh or as Paul writes, one believes in the heart and confesses Jesus is Lord. This Lord speaks of the heavenly Lord, the Holy One who came down from heaven. Jesus said "I exist the resurrection and the Life" and Martha believed also saying "I believe that you exist Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world."* Jesus is the living bread that "came down from heaven" and "anyone eating of this bread will live for eternity."

The children of God are born not of the perishable but of the imperishable. Those who believe in Jesus receive the promise, "I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you,"* truly we say, "blessed are the pure in heart, for they see the one God."* Those born of God are partakers of that which endures unto Eternal Life. Jesus became flesh and blood, so that we may partake of that which is heavenly, that which exists Eternal Life. The earthly and the fleshly do not give Eternal Life but the words of Jesus they exist Spirit and they exist Life. For those who come to Jesus, who consider His words, who are drawn by the Spirit of God, and who believe, these have become the children of God, blessed with Eternal Life. Those who abide in Jesus, the Word of Life, know and believe as Peter, Jesus is the Holy One from God, the Word of Life, Eternal Life.

Spirit of Life

" Indeed, the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus liberates from the law of sin and death ." 1 This word for liberates "I free, set free, liberate" is from a root word meaning free, exempt, not bound by an obligation. As partakers of God's divine nature, being born of Spirit, we are no longer obligated to the sinful nature but to righteousness which is God's nature. When we believe we receive the Spirit of promise, a guarantee of our inheritance, a great testimony that we are His children, it is a Spirit of Life. " Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." 24 The Son came not to condemn the world but to save it. "One trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. " 6 " He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and wa...

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body in Biblical Understanding The human being, as depicted in the Bible, is a multifaceted creation, often understood through the distinct yet interconnected components of spirit, soul, and body. While some theological perspectives lean towards a bipartite view (soul and body), which we do see in the Old Testament, a careful examination of the New Testament scripture reveals a compelling case for a tripartite understanding, where each is divided into or composed of three parts. Let’s explore the biblical distinction between spirit, soul, and body. The Body: Our Earthly Vessel The body is the physical form that interacts with the material world. From the very beginning, Genesis 2:7 states, " Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being ." This verse clearly establishes the body's origin from the earth, emphasizing its connec...

Lord, Stand By Me

"... present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness ." 1 This word for present means "I bring, present, come up to and stand by," it is parístēmi (from pará, "from close-beside" and hístēmi, "to stand") – properly, stand close beside, i.e. ready to present (exhibit). I pray Lord stand by me which expresses that I put my trust in Him, or I come up to and stand by Him. We use phrases like surrendering or bowing at the cross to explain such a moment, surely it is a coming to the end of ourselves and it is desirable that I find His will acceptable, but it is important to understand that it is about trust, not my will power, the key is that it is in Christ. The terminology the scriptures use is "present yourselves to God," or come up to and stand by and walk with Him. "... present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this...

Surrender and Giving Control in Christian Thought: Scriptural Roots, Modern Interpretations, and the Quest for Spiritual Maturity

Surrender and Giving Control in Christian Thought: Scriptural Roots, Modern Interpretations, and the Quest for Spiritual Maturity Introduction The theological concept of surrender—or giving control to God—occupies a prominent place in the modern Christian consciousness. From pulpits, in devotional material, songs, and across a multitude of Christian traditions, believers are often exhorted to “surrender their lives to Christ,” to “give up control." This is often expressed as a “come to the end of yourselves,” experience. These exhortations, frequently couched in emotive and urgent language, invite believers to a posture of yielding, releasing, and letting go. Yet, when this language is measured against the actual vocabulary, teachings, and emphases of the Greek New Testament, important questions emerge: How biblically grounded are the concepts of “surrender” and “giving control”? Does such language reflect the spiritual vision of the earliest Christian church and scripture, or...

Freedom from the Mosaic Law: A Deep Theological Exploration of New Testament Teaching

Freedom from the Mosaic Law: A Deep Theological Exploration of New Testament Teaching Introduction: The Question of the Mosaic Law and Christian Identity One of the most significant theological debates and practical challenges for the early church was the place of the Mosaic Law in the life of believers in Jesus Christ. This question remains alive today, particularly in communities and churches that quote the Old Testament as if its legal prescriptions still directly obligate Christians. The apostolic writings, especially those of Paul, provide the primary lens through which the New Testament resolves this matter. Paul’s letters—rich in both theological reflection and ecclesiastical urgency—not only confront false teaching but chart the path of new covenant living by the Holy Spirit. This essay seeks to offer a doctrinal synthesis on why believers are no longer “under the Mosaic Law,” supported by original-language insights, harmonized scripture references, and commentar...

Theological Comparison of the New Covenant of Grace and the Old Covenant of the Law

Theological Comparison of the New Covenant of Grace and the Old Covenant of the Law: A Detailed Study Rooted in Ephesians 2:11–22 Introduction The theme of covenant is central to the biblical narrative, shaping God’s relationship with humanity from creation through redemption. The new covenant is called by Paul a ministry of reconciliation, righteousness, and of the Spirit. The shift from the old Mosaic covenant—rooted in the Law given to Israel at Sinai—to the new covenant of grace established in Christ, fundamentally redefines how people approach God, community, and salvation. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, particularly 2:11–22, provides a remarkably clear and rich theological exposition of this transition, addressing not only the spiritual implications for Jews and Gentiles but also the very nature of the church as God’s new creation. This report develops an in-depth, paragraph-driven theological comparison between the old and new covenants, structured around nine key themes de...

Called According to His Purpose: A Biblical Examination

Called According to His Purpose: A Biblical Examination 📖 Introduction The phrase “called according to His purpose” appears in Romans 8:28 (ESV), a foundational verse that reads: “And we know that for those loved of God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” This statement gives comfort and more—it is a declaration about identity, destiny, and divine intent. To be “called according to His purpose” means participating in God’s sovereign, redemptive plan. God's plan is being manifested through the church through the "new covenant in his blood" as it was established by the death of Jesus. The calling is not arbitrary or based on human merit, but is rooted in God’s purpose, eternal will and love. 🔍 The Nature of the Calling In Scripture, God's calling is effectual—that is, it accomplishes what He intends. Paul writes: "...those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified,...
