Of The Same Word

I exist this living bread the one coming from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, lives for all time. Now, the bread that I give exists that my flesh, above the life of the world.*

The bread from heaven is food that endures unto everlasting life. This bread exists his flesh, above the life of this world. The bread of this world gives life to the mortal body only but this bread from heaven gives eternal Life. John proclaims to us this bread from heaven as the word of Life, the Life that was revealed, this they saw, heard, and touched also bearing witness and proclaim the Eternal Life.* The Word of God, who was with God and was God, became flesh and dwelt among men. This flesh or human existence of the word of God is what the Father sent as Life to the world. This bread, the word of God, that came from heaven exists the Word of Life, Eternal Life.

That which existed from the beginning whom we have heard, whom we saw with our eyes, whom we looked upon and our hands touched, concerning the word of Life, also this life was revealed and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you, Eternal Life.*

What exists the bread from heaven? it is that which came down from heaven as flesh and gives eternal life to the world. What gives eternal life? it is the living bread that came down from heaven and John writes Jesus exists the Word of Life and Eternal Life. What gives Eternal Life? the words of Jesus. Therefore the bread from heaven is the Word of God, who existed in the beginning and became flesh. In him all things were created and in him we are a new creation. Now, it is not flesh but his words that give life, "It is the Spirit that gives life the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you exist Spirit and Life"*  The words of Jesus, words that Jesus brought from heaven, the words of the Father, exist life to the world.* In other words, Jesus gave his flesh, he became flesh, to bring the words of the Father to man and these words of God came from heaven and these words exist eternal life.

Lord, to whom shall we go? you have words of eternal Life and we believe and know that you exist the Holy One from God.*

When Jesus said they must eat his flesh and drink his blood many of those following him turned away and did not follow him anymore. Jesus said one must be born of Spirit to enter the kingdom of heaven and it is the Spirit that grants, the flesh is useless, but the Spirit gives life. And since the Words of Jesus exist eternal Life and also exist Spirit, one must hear his words and the Spirit must reveal or must grant one to come to Jesus. God is Spirit thus as Jesus said the apostles had been given to him by the Father.* So we understand more of what this verse means, "the sword of the Spirit which exists the word of God."* And as John writes this is a way to test the spirits, as God's Spirit teaches us to abide in the words of Jesus.*

Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits whether they exist from God because many false prophets come into the world.*

A false prophet, teacher, or minister by their very nature would say they come in the name of Jesus. And they would have you believe they are true just by their words. The word confessing means from "the same words." Just as faith without deeds and action is dead so is confessing words without believing in the heart. As John goes on to write, "All believing that Jesus exists the Christ, are born of God." One must believe and love one another, this is what matters. If one is born of God they love Jesus and if they love Jesus they will be obedient to his commands and remember God sent his word as flesh to give us the words of the Father and new words he gave, a new command to love one another. False prophets will confess with words only but they do not believe, and they love the things of this world and do not love those begotten by God, his brethren. Thus they do not follow the commands of Jesus, especially the new command.

In this we know the Spirit of God, all spirits that confess that Jesus has come in the flesh exists from God.*

We see that confessing is more than just saying words it includes believing in the heart first, as Paul writes in agreement.* So we see the word confessing as "the same word." This is more about experiencing eternal life through the words of Jesus, as Peter confessed. Of course, Jesus spoke of this as a growth process where the seed, the word of God is planted, grows deep roots, and will bring forth fruit. In this we see the concept of sowing and reaping to be that of growth. Also, those who abide or continue in the words of Jesus know the truth and truth sets them free. Also the young person is strong and has overcome because the word of God abides in him. The one born of God will overcome, as greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. Thus the hundred-fold, sixty-fold, thirty-fold of reaping comes from sowing into the Spirit, eating this bread from heaven, the words of Jesus that exist Spirit and Life.

Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews believing in him, if you abide in my words, you exist truly my disciples and you know the truth and the truth sets you free.*

How does one know he is a true disciple of Jesus, he abides in the words of Jesus, which also exists as the truth. Such a one abides, he doesn't go forward on his own and he listens to truth and to those who are also of the truth. This is walking in truth in love in that it is two-sided, a double edge sword of truth and Spirit that cuts both ways. If one of his brethren lords over another he has now placed himself in the position of Christ, of Lord, and such a person will dictate what the truth is but will not accept the truth, as he doesn't abide in the truth, Jesus. A person who uses his position to lord over others, does so to control and manipulate them and will establish his authority as absolute obedience as if to God. The true disciple doesn't lord over others, the greatest being a servant of all, for the purpose of building up his brethren to become like Christ in maturity.

In this we know the Spirit of God, all spirits that confess that Jesus has come in the flesh exist from God.*

The one who abides in Jesus has as confession in the likeness of Peters' that the words of Jesus exist eternal life. Those who abide, feed on this bread from heaven reap Life, also sowing to the Spirit. So do we see what it means to confess Jesus came in the flesh? Jesus said he gives his flesh for the life above the life of the world. We must labor for food from heaven that endures unto life, not like earthly bread. We must seek, ask, and knock persistently for this bread. He exists this living bread the one who came from heaven, if anyone eats of this bread, he lives for all time. This bread is his flesh, it is real food. The incarnation states that Jesus existed as the divine word of God and also as a man in human form and nature, thus the Word of God, the word of life, became flesh.

... concerning the word of Life, also this life was revealed and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you, Eternal Life.*

This is what we confess and believe because in such a form of flesh and divinity we have experienced life in his words. The word from the Father became flesh, this is the bread from heaven. When we eat this bread, when we hear the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation, and believe we are born of God, of Spirit. We exist a new creation of his divine nature, his seed, word, planted in us. We have eaten and continue to feed on the words of Jesus in which is Life. We confess Jesus, the Word of God came in the flesh and that we exist of the same Word, the word of Life.

    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...

    The New Living Way

    The New Living Way "... Now, at the present released from the Law, having died in that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of Spirit and not the old written code " -- Romans 7:16 Paul states that we are now united to Christ in his death and also raised with him into newness of life. What held them captive was sin but also the Law, it was a guardian until the appointed time God would send a Messiah (see School Master ). Paul uses the metaphor of marriage to describe how we are released from the Law; like a wife whose husband dies, now she is released from the Law and can marry another, so also have we died with Christ and are released from the Law and bound to Christ in a new covenant. The purpose of this is that we live in a new living way of the Spirit and not fleshly through the old written code or Mosaic Law. " So then brothers, you also have died to the Law through the body of Christ to the extent you exist by creation of another, the one raising you f...

    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...

    New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness

      New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness The New Testament presents a vibrant and multifaceted picture of spiritual growth, not as a static event but as a dynamic, lifelong journey for the believer. This journey, with emphasis on a strong foundation, progresses through a transformative process of maturity forged by endurance, ultimately aiming for the profound goal of experiencing the "fullness of God in Christ." The Foundation: A New Creation The inception of growth in Christ is marked by a radical spiritual new birth, a foundational shift that defines the Christian experience. It is not merely a moral reformation, but a divine act of creation. The apostle Paul declares this truth in 2 Corinthians 5:17 : " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come ." This new creation is initiated by faith in Jesus Christ, where believers are justified and reconciled to God through His sacrifice. ...

    All Who Are Thirsty

    “ Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;  and he who has no money,  come, buy and eat!  Come, buy wine and milk  without money and without price.  Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,  and your labor for that which does not satisfy?  Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,  and delight yourselves in rich food. .." (Isaiah 55). " Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price ." Buy is defined as to acquire the ownership of by giving an accepted price or consideration therefore; to accept or believe as true .[ 1 ] When we buy something we consider the price that we must pay, we accept this and purchase the thing we have considered worthy of the sacrifice we make in payment.

    True Widows: A Biblical Perspective

    True Widows: A Biblical Perspective Throughout Scripture, God's compassion for widows is evident. He is portrayed as their defender, provider, and source of justice. The Bible repeatedly calls believers to care for widows, reflecting God's own heart for the vulnerable. However, in his letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul provides a specific definition of a "true" widow, emphasizing the church's responsibility in supporting those who are genuinely in need. God's Compassion for Widows The Old Testament is rich with passages that reveal God's concern for widows. In Exodus 22:22, God commands, "You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child." This verse underscores His protective nature, ensuring that widows are not mistreated or neglected. Similarly, Deuteronomy 10:18 declares, "He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing." Here, God is depicted as a just and loving prov...

    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,...

    Putting On the New Self Theme: Spiritual Growth & Identity in Christ Key Scripture: “And to put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” — Ephesians 4:24 (ESV) 🕊️ Day’s Reflection The Christian journey is not about becoming a better version of our old selves. It is about walking in The New Living Way , putting on the new man created in the likeness of God. Scripture calls us to put on the new man , and this call is not symbolic or abstract. It is a command grounded in spiritual truth and lived out in daily walking as Christ walked. 📜 Scripture for Meditation 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
