What does it mean to eat and drink the flesh and blood of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

To eat and drink the flesh and blood of Christ means to believe in Him and fully partake in His sacrifice for salvation.

In John 6:53-56, Jesus emphasizes the necessity of eating His flesh and drinking His blood to have eternal life. This metaphor signifies a deep, personal faith in Christ and His sacrificial work on the cross. By stating this, Jesus conveys that spiritual sustenance comes from an intimate connection with Him—believers must fully accept and internalize His sacrifice as their only means of salvation. Thus, to partake in Christ is to trust wholeheartedly in His redemptive work, recognizing that it is through this faith that we dwell in Him and He in us, culminating in a spiritual union that grants eternal life.
