Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

Passage: John 6:27*

Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.

Questions

1. What is the difference between "food that spoils" and "food that endures"?

 

2. What fleeting foodstuffs are currently in your diet?

 

Practical Help

If food makes life possible, then at least one interpretation of this passage is that human beings can feed to live or die.

Implication: If you consume a steady diet of spiritual junk food — including web pornography and other unhealthy menu items — your life will drain away to nothing.

Of course, the opposite approach offers encouragement. A life of faith creates an enduring life. As Jesus says in John 6:29, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Feast on God, and enjoy ongoing life.
