A family is related by blood. Among many relationships that a person has with others, the family is distinguished from other human relationships because they are related by blood. “Blood is thicker than water” means that familial bonds will always be stronger than other relationships.

Eating [[Christ]]’s flesh and drinking His blood means to inherit God’s blood. By inheriting the blood of God who lives forever, we can become God’s sons and daughters and live forever. Jesus commanded us to keep the [[Passover]] of the new covenant as a way to eat and drink His flesh and blood. | Eating [[Christ]]’s flesh and drinking His blood means to inherit God’s blood.

While keeping the Passover with His disciples, Jesus gave them bread, calling it “My body,” and gave them wine, saying, “This is My blood." The New Covenant Passover contains the love and sacrifice of God, who endured the pain of being torn and shedding blood on the cross only for the salvation of His children. Those who engrave such love in their hearts with sincere faith and participate in the Passover ceremony can inherit God's blood, become part of the heavenly family, and receive eternal life. Just because we call God "our Father" with our mouth, we do not qualify to be His children.
