Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." (John 6:28-29)
What is it that shows we are doing the work of God? Is it being at church every week or better yet, every day? Is it preaching, teaching, witnessing? It is really much simplier and yet at the same time much more difficult than any of these things! Jesus says it here: "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
Notice first the difference in the question and the answer. The question asks about "the works of God", but the answer talks about "the work of God". They are asking the same question that many still ask today: What is the list of things that I have to do to make things right with God?
Jesus says it is not about a set of rules, but it is all about faith - about believing. Out of our belief then comes everything else! As always, our relationship with Him is the good portion!
