Jesus Speaks!
John 6:29
29 Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”
John 6:29
29 Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”
These words are straight to the point and very specific. Although I believe the Christian Faith at times can hide behind a verse. Jesus gave a specific answer to a question the apostles had asked earlier is verse 28:
28 They replied, “We want to perform God’s works, too. What should we do?”
Jesus was answering them with a direct and specific answer so that they would understand that no man could ever do enough to work to earn his way into Heaven. One Christ, One Way, Period. Jesus says, believe in me and that is all the the Father above asks from you to be able to spend eternity in Heaven. Where we tend to get in trouble and use a verse like this to sit on the sidelines and say, "Were not called to work our way into Heaven". Well, my answer to that statement is simply this: 1. Keep reading, don't hang your hat on a single verse, don't allow your faith or God's blessings to stop here. 2. Most importantly, remember this, God gave us a specific way into heaven, Salvation. Salvation is a onetime event, that is what Jesus is telling us here, but don't think for a moment that He doesn't have a purpose for your life or a way for you to advance His Kingdom. He has called each and everyone of us to have a relationship with Him and to spread "the Good News". Salvation is a gift it, can't be earned, but read the Word and see how He speaks to you and leads you to advance the Kingdom of God. I'd be willing to bet, you'll find He hasn't called any of us to sit at home and do nothing!
I want to thank all of you for your support and starting your day with "God's Cup of Coffee". Please, forward this Blog to as many people that God may lay on your heart and start spreading His Word!
Godspeed,
