"This is working for God"

“This is working for God.”

“Then they said to him, ‘What must we do if we are to do the works that God wants?’  Jesus gave them this answer, ‘This is working for God:  ‘you must believe in the one he had sent.”  (John 6: 28 – 29)

What must we do today if we are to do the works that God wants?  The inspired answer is:  Believe in Jesus.  But what does believing in Jesus mean?

Believe that Jesus is well and alive.
Believe that he speaks to us in the Scriptures.
Believe that he is the Lord of history.
Believe that he is in full control of our life.
Believe that he is our savior and redeemer.
Believe that he is our light and salvation.
Believe that he is all that we need and want.
Believe that he wants us to use our time, talent and treasure to serve him.
Believe that he is training us for this service.
Believe that Jesus is our king and boss.
Believe in all his promises.

If we believe all the above, it will have impact in the way we think, speak and act today.  For example, we will not be afraid of anything because we know that Jesus is in charge.  We will be patient in everything because we trust his wisdom and power.

The key to relationship with God is faith.  Faith establishes a supernatural outlook.  Out of faith flows everything.
