“I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world” (John 6:51).
According to the Bible, God created the human body from the dust of the ground (see Genesis 2:7), but the human spirit was created in the image and likeness of God (see Genesis 1:26).
Therefore God is the Father of all human spirits, as it is written: “we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?” (Hebrews 12:9).
Without the human spirit, or rather human words, mankind would have been limited to natural instinct just like other animals. It is the use of words and the ability to communicate and learn and reason in words that sets mankind apart from other creatures.
Almost all of human senses operate in words. We act, think, feel, see, hear, dream, and so forth in words. The spirits in mankind are words because all human spirits were created in Christ the Word of God (see Ephesians 2:10).
God created the human spirit to eat and live by Christ Jesus the Word of God. The Bible says, “But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding” (Job 32:8).
Now what is this breath of God? “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16 – NIV).
Our human spirit or inner man was made for the Word of God, which is the living bread that came down from heaven: “For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world” (John 6:33).
The Bible is that living spiritual bread of God that came down from heaven, as Jesus says, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4).
PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for the living Word of God in the Bible, which came down from heaven that we may eat thereof and live forever, in Jesus name. Amen.
