Matthew 4:4 - Jesus answered, It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

What is your perspective of this scripture verse? Here's my perspective: living spiritually means 100% surrender to the word of God. I’m not saying that I’m 100% surrendered to God, but that’s definitely my desire and goal. The physical bread that we eat, that our bodies process is how we live in the flesh, but it’s the spiritual bread that enables us to live eternally. We live eternally when we obey all of his word, that is, every word that comes from the mouth of God. If we obey 99%, but decide that it’s ok to lie, then we’re liars and the truth is not in us, as 1John 2:4 declares.

This is a seemingly impossible task, being as we all stumble in many ways. We need Jesus Christ everyday. We can do nothing without him.
