John 6:28–29 28... “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” 29Jesus 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!
