Scripture

1. John 6:51 ^[1]

   I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (ESV)
2. John 6:55 ^[1]

   For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. (ESV)
3. 1 Corinthians 10:16–17 ^[2]

   The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. (ESV)
4. 1 Corinthians 11:26 ^[2]

   For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (ESV)
5. Romans 6:5–11 ^[3]

   For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. (ESV)
