João 6:54

54 Quem come a minha carne e bebe o meu sangue tem a vida eterna; e eu o ressuscitarei no último dia.

João 6:54 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:54

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood
Spiritually by faith, as explained in the preceding verse:

hath eternal life;
the principle of spiritual life, which is evidently implanted in him, as appears from his eating and drinking; and is a durable and lasting principle: grace is an incorruptible seed; every part of it is abiding and permanent; and it is itself the beginning, pledge, and earnest of everlasting life, and is inseparably connected with it: moreover, such have eternal life itself, not only in Christ their head, but in themselves: they have a right unto it, and a meetness for it: and may be assured of it, as if they were personally possessed of it, from their election to it; the security of it in Christ; from the grace they have received, which is the beginning of glory; and the earnest of it in themselves:

and I will raise him up at the last day;
to enjoy it in soul and body; (See Gill on John 6:39), (See Gill on John 6:40).

João 6:54 In-Context

52 Disputavam, pois, os judeus entre si, dizendo: Como pode este dar-nos a sua carne a comer?
53 Disse-lhes Jesus: Em verdade, em verdade vos digo: Se não comerdes a carne do Filho do homem, e não beberdes o seu sangue, não tereis vida em vós mesmos.
54 Quem come a minha carne e bebe o meu sangue tem a vida eterna; e eu o ressuscitarei no último dia.
55 Porque a minha carne verdadeiramente é comida, e o meu sangue verdadeiramente é bebida.
56 Quem come a minha carne e bebe o meu sangue permanece em mim e eu nele.
