The Work of God

UV 3656/10000 The Word of God Jesus answered, “This is the work of God: that you believe (adhere to, trust in, rely on , have faith) in the One whom He has sent. John 6 v 29 In this uni-verse, Jesus tells us that the work of God is synonymous and identical with the word of God. Jesus is also called in the book of Revelation and in the first verse of the gospel of John as the Word of God. If we believe, trust, rely on, adhere to, have faith in the Word of God and that Jesus is the Word, we are doing the work of God. When we believe the Word, the work of God happens in us and through us. Miracles are set in motion. The Word both frames and expands our faith in all directions. Jesus is the son in the parable of tenants. He is sent by the Father and Lord of the universe to collect His rent that the people of this world have stopped paying. In other words, He is the One sent by the Lord God to turn the hearts of mankind back to Him. We had broken faith with God after the fall of man but now Jesus, the Word restores us to a right and intimate relationship with God based on trust and faith. We need to stop believing in the broken systems of this world and with a broken or repentant heart receive the Son, Jesus. Therefore, the only “work” we now need to do is to hold onto our faith in Jesus. He is our Advocate on high and will turn the Father’s judgement and anger away from us . He is the Word made incarnate. He is the word of compassion. He is the word of truth. He is the word of justice. He is the word of love. He is the word of grace. All our spiritual as well as holistic needs are met in Him. He satisfies our hunger for eternal life. He meets our need for forgiveness, for healing, for deliverance.
