12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned |
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we areyet he did not sin. |
4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. |
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. |
6 God will repay each person according to what they have done.[a] 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. |
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers |
"Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." |
"Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."
Peter did NOT say, 'you have the flesh of eternal life'...He said you have the words...
Jesus explained it...
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; (not the flesh)
the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
These peoople didn't reject Jesus because he told them to eat his flesh...They didn't believe he was the Christ from the beginning...That's why Jesus did not call them back and tell them he was talking in a parable...Jesus knew it wouldn't have made a lick of difference...
Joh 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
Joh 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Joh 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Joh 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
