Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him by the
blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not
love their lives to the death”.
Jesus stated, "I will raise him up at the last day," four times regarding the believer in John 6 (see verses 39, 40, 44, and 54). One aspect of salvation is resurrection.
John 6:54-56, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them”. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink”.
"Whoever consumes My body and eats my blood I will bring him up on the last day because my blood has eternal life. Because my blood is a drink and my flesh is food. "He who continually eats My flesh, and continually drinks My blood, continually abides in Me and I in him" uses the ongoing present tense for the words eats, drinks, and abides.
It is evident that the Lord places a high value on consuming His flesh and blood. Although I am not the ultimate authority, I firmly think He is referring to the sacrament of Communion, often known as the Lord's Supper. Communion is the consumption of Jesus' blood.
"I don't like the thought of drinking blood," says a part of
us. It took me years to understand this sentence, as I recall. However, we must
consume Jesus' flesh and drink His blood in order to have eternal life.
So have your Lord’s Supper regularly.
