The [[Eucharist]] with its sacrificial offering of bread and wine<ref>"bread and wine", in the [[Epistle to the Hebrews]], is seen in the offering of the priest Melchizedek as a [[foreshadowing]] of the future sacrificial offering of Christ. The "bread and wine" offered by Melchizedek is also a [[foreshadowing]] of sacrificial offerings of bread and wine in the [[Eucharist]]. Genesis 14:18-20; Hebrews 7:1-27; 13:10.</ref> in union with the Lord Jesus Christ represents the unbloody presentation and acknowledgement by Christian worshipers of the one unrepeatable eternal sacrifice of Christ by the people of God as offered on their behalf by him as High Priest for the benefit of themselves and the whole world to the end of time. "We have an altar from which those who serve in the [[tabernacle]] have no right to eat."<ref>Hebrews 13:10; see John 6:35-58. "So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you" (John 6:53).

:"His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature."<ref>2 Peter 1:3-4</ref>

==Christian service as sacrifice: St. Paul==
{{cquote|I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, ''which'' is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what ''is'' that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think ''of himself'' more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, ''being'' many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, ''let us prophesy'' according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, ''let us wait'' on ''our'' ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, ''let him do it'' with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. ''Let'' love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. ''Be'' kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. ''Be'' of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but ''rather'' give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance ''is'' mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not over come of evil, but overcome evil with good. <br>—[[Paul|St. Paul]]'s Epistle to the [[Romans]], chapter 8, King James Version <ref>See [http://biblehub.com/interlinear/romans/8.htm interlinear Greek text of Romans chapter 8]</ref>}}
