what man eats and drinks are what he becomes... Hence we must pay attention to what we eat. the bible says that man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God (matt 4:4), and it says that the Word is God (John 1:1). God did not tell Adam, If you worship and serve Me, you will live. In addition, you must love others and do good. Rather, God put Adam in the front of the tree of life near a river. God wanted Adam to eat the fruit of this tree and to drink from the river so that he would live. The tree signifies Christ, and the river signifies the Spirit. Since God is in Christ and God is Spirit, He wants man to eat Him and drink Him, that is, to enjoy Him. After God Created man, He put Himself in front of man as the tree of life and the water of life in order for man to eat Him and drink Him. none of us is complete; we need God to supply us as food and make us complete. without God as our food, life supply, and nourishment, we are incomplete. A person without God is an incomplete person, because he does not have life or satisfaction... The Lord Jesus said, I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall by no means hunger, and he who believes into Me shall by no means ever thirst (John 6:35). He also cried out, if anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink (7:37). this verses show that man is hungry and thirsty. without God man is deficient and incomplete. His life is incomplete because he lacks the eternal God. A complete person is a person who gains God and enjoys God as his life supply and who lets Godlive in him. As a result, his disposition is desireable, his conduct is proper, and his life is complete. such a person has been made complete by God. (How God Becomes Mans Enjoyment - W.Lee)
