Bible Verses About Eternal Life

But the bread that comes down from heaven is such that a person may eat it and not die.

I am the living bread that has come down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. Furthermore, the bread that I will give is my own flesh; and I will give it for the life of the world.”

At this, the Judeans disputed with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

Then Yeshua said to them, “Yes, indeed! I tell you that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life — that is, I will raise him up on the Last Day.

For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I live in him.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father, so also whoever eats me will live through me.

So this is the bread that has come down from heaven — it is not like the bread the fathers ate; they’re dead, but whoever eats this bread will live forever!”

As the Tanakh puts it, “There is no one righteous, not even one! No one understands,

no one seeks God,

all have turned away and at the same time become useless; there is no one who shows kindness, not a single one!

“Their throats are open graves, they use their tongues to deceive. Vipers’ venom is under their lips.

Their mouths are full of curses and bitterness.

“Their feet rush to shed blood,

in their ways are ruin and misery,

and the way of shalom they do not know.

“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Moreover, we know that whatever the Torah says, it says to those living within the framework of the Torah, in order that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world be shown to deserve God’s adverse judgment.
