The Work of God

 (ID: 0575)

In his Gospel, John wove together the themes of testimony, belief, and life as he sought to present evidence persuading all to trust in Jesus. Only Jesus, he insisted, can offer life that is eternal—even if we prefer religious works we can measure over reliance on God. As Alistair Begg explores the implications of belief in Jesus, he challenges us with the realization that faith demands a response which includes the entirety of ourselves.

25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, h“Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, iyou are seeking me, not because you saw jsigns, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27kDo not work for the food that perishes, but for lthe food that endures to eternal life, which mthe Son of Man will give to you. For on nhim God the Father has oset his seal.” 28Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing pthe works of God?” 29Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, qthat you believe in him whom rhe has sent.”
