NOTHING TO DO, ONLY BELIEVE

John 6:28–29 “What shall we do,
that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is
the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

When I was a young Christian, I
attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told
that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from
the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But
the answer was very different!
In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus
being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His
miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had
seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and
two fish.
Notice how Jesus answered them: “This
is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the
greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it
all for you at the cross!
If you are asking, “What must I do to
receive my healing?” the answer is this: Believe in Jesus, who “Himself took
our infirmities and bore our sicknesses”. (Matthew 8:17) We have seen members
of our church delivered from life-threatening conditions such as cancer and
kidney failure. They had simply believed that Jesus bore their diseases on His
own body. There was nothing for them to do, except to believe.
When the jailer asked Paul and Silas,
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 16:30–31) The
greatest miracle in your life happens not by you working and trying to save
yourself, but by you simply believing in Jesus who died to save you from
eternal damnation and to give you eternal life. Why then, should the lesser
miracles of healing or financial breakthroughs be any different?
Beloved, what is the miracle you need
today? There is nothing left for you to do, but everything for you
to believe, because Jesus has done it all for you!
Thought For The Day: The greatest doing is
believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all for you!
AMEN! People are still, after all of these years and after so much Bible teaching, trying to put conditions on the Word of God that are simply not there! Remind yourself when standing in faith SEEMS to become difficult, that HE does the work! We "Only believe" (Mark 5:36)! And ALWAYS believe! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "God One And Only":
Shalom in Him!
