John 6:26-29

Sometimes we come to Christianity because of our physical needs not out of our spiritual need for a Savior.


We will always have physical needs as long as we live on this earth BUT they will perish. The Word of God is eternal. Our eyes are opened to the truth of the salvation of Jesus Christ and then we are sealed and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The impression that one must work for eternal life is quickly corrected when Jesus adds which the Son of Man will give you. The Son provides life as a gift. The Father has authorized and authenticated the Son as the Giver of life.

26 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. 27 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.”

28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”

29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
