Have You Done Your Work?
Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one He has sent.”
John 6:29
My Takeaways
Something Old
- If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. Romans 10:9-10
- God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Ephesians 2:8-9
- Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. Philippians 2:12
Something New
Beware of ignoring God’s law and substitute your own tradition. (Mark 7:8)
Something to Do
Share with others the simple work of knowing Jesus.
I have felt that this would be a good verse to give someone who is asking what they need to do to be saved. (Romans 10: 9-10) Very simple, straightforward, uncomplicated. Not a lot of hoops to jump through.
