Kingdom Of God
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.” Romans 14:17-18 (NIV)
Now we are in the Kingdom of God by God’s grace and through our faith in Jesus Christ. So we are a spiritual being. We do not belong to the world and flesh. We belong to God and Holy Spirit. We should walk in spirit. Bring the Kingdom of God in your life by keeping your mind on the things above even though we are doing physical things. Bring others into the Kingdom of God by giving the gospel of grace to them and be a living witness to them.
“Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.”Romans 14:19-21 (NIV)
Eating & Drinking
There is a right way of eating that gives you eternal life and much more. “Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.” John 6:53-54, 56-57 (NIV)
Here Jesus is talking about Holy Communion of eating His flesh and drinking His blood which also have a spiritual part in it. Every time you part take-
1) you will have eternal life,
2) Jesus will rise you up at the last day in Rapture,
3) you will remain in Jesus,
4) Jesus will remain in you,
5)you will live because of Jesus and you will not die.
6) you will never go hungry or thirsty.
Glory to God! Do you believe?
“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”” John 6:35, 40 (NIV)
Jesus: Bread of Life
“Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”” John 6:47-51 (NIV)
