Easy-to-Read Version
48 I am the bread that gives life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna God gave them in the desert, but it didn’t keep them from dying. 50 Here is the bread that comes down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my body. I will give my body so that the people in the world can have life.”
52 Then the Jews began to argue among themselves. They said, “How can this man give us his body to eat?”
53 Jesus said, “Believe me when I say that you must eat the body of the Son of Man, and you must drink his blood. If you don’t do this, you have no real life. 54 Those who eat my body and drink my blood have eternal life. I will raise them up on the last day. 55 My body is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my body and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.
57 “The Father sent me. He lives, and I live because of him. So everyone who eats me will live because of me. 58 I am not like the bread that your ancestors ate. They ate that bread, but they still died. I am the bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
MFM Daily Devotional 19th March 2023 MESSAGE
Beloved, we are going to look at steps that every believer must take in order to grow spiritually. It is often said that first things first, before anyone can talk about growing spiritually, he or she must first of all surrender his or her life to Jesus Christ.
A Christian cannot experience genuine new birth without first making the Lord Jesus Christ his or her personal Lord and Saviour. If you do not make the choice of following Christ and putting Him first in all that you do, you will never be able to grow spiritually. So, new birth is a must for anyone who desires to know God.
Romans 10:9-10 says. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The conviction must be strong for you to remain steadfast. If your mind is not made up, your decision to follow the Lord will not be firm. Consequently, your spiritual growth will be impeded.
You must really be determined to make a complete turnaround from the world to the Lord.
You must learn to abide in Him, and dwell in His presence every day, thereby growing deeper in Him as you seek to know Him more. In John 15:4-5, Jesus said, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
When you turn your life over to the Lord, He takes over and becomes the Commander in Chief, who must be obeyed. Are you born again? That way, your new life begins and as you continue to seek Him, you keep growing in the Lord. Have you backslided or gone cold? Jesus is ever willing with open arms to receive you back into His fold.
