Do
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:28-29
Do you ever get asked from people, what do I have to do to get to Heaven? There are many that believe that you have to have a ton of good works and constantly be working for the Lord to get to Heaven. Some people take it to the extreme and say that if you have no good works, then you won't achieve anything. That's when looking at God's Word carefully is so important. Jesus answered the question above with a simple answer, "believe in the one he has sent." Seems pretty straightforward and direct, but something does change in us when we believe in Jesus as our Savior. I believe that the change that takes place in our heart will help us realize that yes, we don't need works to save us, but we should find it in our hearts to work for others to achieve the same gift that we have been given. It may be as simple as being kind to others, talking to them about our savior or even sharing our story. I believe that believing in God changes us to passionately provide works of service out of our heart and can result in bringing more to Him.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
