To eat the flesh and drink the blood of Christ is to receive Him as a personal Saviour, believing that He forgives our sins, and that we are complete in Him. It is by beholding His love, by dwelling upon it, by drinking it in, that we are to become partakers of His nature. What food is to the body, Christ must be to the soul. Food cannot benefit us unless we eat it, unless it becomes a part of our being. So Christ is of no value to us if we do not know Him as a personal Saviour. A theoretical knowledge will do us no good. We must feed upon Him, receive Him into the heart, so that His life becomes our life. His love, His grace, must be assimilated.

At æde Kristi kød og drikke hans blod vil sige at tage imod ham som en personlig Frelser i troen på, at han tilgiver alle vore synder, og at vi er fuldkomne i ham. Det er ved at betragte hans kærlighed, ved at dvæle i den, ved at indsuge den, at vi får del i hans natur. Hvad mad er for legemet, må Kristus være for sjælen. Mad kan ikke hjælpe os, hvis vi ikke spiser den, hvis den ikke bliver en del af os selv. På samme måde er Kristus ikke til nogen gavn for os, hvis vi ikke kender ham som vor personlige Frelser. En teoretisk viden nytter os ikke. Vi må næres af ham, modtage ham i vort hjerte, så hans liv bliver til vort liv. Hans kærlighed og hans nåde må optages i os.
