"Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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 Joh 6:39 , See Gill on Joh 6:40 .
