YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. Suppose this was actually possible? What would you be? Ice cream, fruit, steak? More than likely we’d be some form of bread. Bread has been the staple food for centuries. It is the foundation, the basic .Jesus said to the people, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
Through faith and belief and by humbly coming to Christ we surrender ourselves to Him. Developing an intimate relationship with Christ we fill our spiritual hunger. His ways become our ways. Hunger and thirst is relieved. We can not buy salvation. It is given for free if we accept Jesus and his terms.

He loved until he died,
and after doing nothing wrong
and after doing nothing wrong
took the bullet for his bride,
If what I’ve heard is really true and love should come for free,
Then I can love this Jesus too because he first loved me. "
By dying for us, Jesus showed he loved us.
