THE WORK OF GOD

The people thought in terms of works. They thought that by doing good works, they could win God's approval. Jesus corrected that people's concept of salvation by works. Nobody secures favor and acceptance by God because of works. People receive God's favor and acceptance because of a work, one work, which is - TO BELIEVE ON THE ONE HE HAS SENT.

(John 6:28 - 29, which says "They replied, what should we do to satisfy God?" Jesus told them, This is the will of God that you believe in the One He has sent".)

To believe means to commit, to entrust. It is believing in Jesus as the Saviour and Lord of life and committing our lives to Him. The crowd that asked Jesus this question was likely expecting a long list of dos and don'ts, or activities to be carried out, but Jesus said that there is only one work - To believe in Him.

A lot of worshipers today have been deceive into believing that salvation has to do with the amount of money donated, gigantic structures built for the Church, number of titles acquired in church; number of organizations one belongs to and the many activities (Boards, Committees meetings etc) carried out. Dear pilgrim, being a Christian is more than all these. If you will please God, then believe in Jesus whom He has sent. Show that you really believe by obeying and living for Him.

Have you really believed in Jesus? Please say this prayer in your heart, "Lord, reveal to me your true work".

work without first believing in Christ(faith) who is the way, truth and life equals to self righteousness. This earns you disapproval by GOD. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ the bible says, you shall be saved you and your house.

Here it is: Acts 20:21King James Version (KJV)

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings
