We live to follow Jesus, loving and worshiping Him with all that we are. We should seek not the "food that perishes" but the "eternal food": believing in and following Jesus transforms us from mere followers into true disciples. Salvation doesn't come from works or simply professing faith but from applying God's will and authentically following Christ, placing Him at the center of our lives. Like the rich young man, we risk losing Jesus if we're too focused on other things. To give meaning to our lives, we must follow Christ and seek the One who gives salvation, not just the gift itself.
