Joh 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
Joh 6:27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man shall give to you, for on Him the Father, even God, has set His seal."
Joh 6:28 They said therefore to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
Joh 6:30 They said therefore to Him, "What then do You do for a sign, that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?
Joh 6:31 "Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'"
Joh 6:32 Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.
Joh 6:33 "For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."
Joh 6:34 They said therefore to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread."
Joh 6:35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
Joh 6:36 "But I said to you, that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.
Joh 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him, may have eternal life; and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
Joh 6:41 The Jews therefore were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."
Joh 6:42 And they were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"
Joh 6:43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.
Joh 6:44 "No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.
Joh 6:45 "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

Joh 6:47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.
Joh 6:48 "I am the bread of life.
Joh 6:52 The Jews therefore began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"
Joh 6:53 Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
Joh 6:54 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
Joh 6:55 "For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
Joh 6:60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard this said, "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"
Joh 6:61 But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?
Joh 6:62 "What then if you should behold the Son of Man ascending where He was before?
Joh 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
Joh 6:64 "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
Joh 6:65 And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been granted him from the Father."
Joh 6:66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew, and were not walking with Him anymore.
No, many might follow Christ Jesus for the benefits (true of Evangelical leaders--selling Jesus and the Bible is VERY lucrative --it can bring in millions of dollars annually and I'm talking about within the conservative circles, not including WOF Charismatics--they of course do the same). Many might admire Him. Many might think He has some good things to say. But this is merely the kiss of an enemy. Their hearts are still at war with Him. They will now bow to King Jesus. They think doing things (going to church, giving to ministries, building houses, going on mission trips, going to conferences, listening to "Christian" music) means they're saved and love Jesus. It doesn't. Because when the sound doctrines of Christ are taught faithfully, it's war. The Scripture's sound doctrine, through the Holy Spirit crushes pride and all arguments that sets themselves up against Him, His standard, His word, His way of Salvation, His means of and reason for sanctification (which includes tribulation, insults, and persecution John 16, Matt. 10).
2Co 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
2Co 10:5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,
2Co 10:6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
1Co 2:1 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4 And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
1Co 2:5 that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
1Co 1:21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
Eph 4:18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;
Eph 4:19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.
Eph 4:20 But you did not learn Christ in this way,
Eph 4:21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,
Eph 4:22 that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,
Eph 4:23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Eph 4:24 and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
