BELIEF
Bread of Life
"This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever." ~John 6:58
"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." ~ Matthew 26:26
"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them." ~ John 6:56

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them." ~ John 6:56
Having Authority
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." ~ Matthew 28:18
If you believe Christ is the Son of God then He has the authority of God. So whatever Christ says, it is the truth. Just as a baseball empire has the authority over the game. So whatever the empire says, it is the truth. If a player believes he is a 100% in and everyone else believes him, but if the empire says he's out, he is out.

Denying Christ
"On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" ~ John 6:60

"From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him." ~ John 6:66
"But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven." ~ Matthew 10:33

Trusting Christ
And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” ~ John 6:65
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." ~ John 6:68
"God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" ~ Numbers 23:19
