John 6:29 (KJV) 

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

The world tells us to strive, to work harder, to prove ourselves. This iswhy so many people fall into the trap of thinking we need to earn God’s love, favor, or approval. They are no longer teaching grace but works.The gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, tells us that everything has already been done for us. Our salvation is secure, and our sanctification is complete because of Jesus' finished work on the cross.

It’s not in what you achieve, but in what you believe.

Jesus made it clear in John 6:29 that the "work of God" is to believe in the One He has sent. Not to strive, not to perform, not to worry, only believe! This is the core of the gospel message: it’s not about what we do, but about what Jesus has already done. Our role is simply to receive that truth in faith and rest in it.

The most important thing in God’s eyes isn’t your works, it's having faith in his Son who completed the work.

When Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, He didn’t just make salvation possible, he made it complete. Our sins were forgiven, once and for all. We were made holy, set apart for God, and sanctified through His sacrifice. Our sanctification isn’t something we need to work for, Jesus already accomplished it for us. 

We're not working towards salvation, we're working from salvation. SHEESH.

When you realize this truth, it changes everything. You no longer have to live in fear, wondering if you’re doing enough to please God or if you’re “holy enough” to make it into heaven. Jesus took care of it all. Your salvation is secure, and your sanctification is already done. You don't have to worry about earning something that's already yours.

We often feel the need to prove ourselves, to check all the boxes, to make sure we’re doing everything right. But the gospel frees us from that burden.

Jesus alone does the work. Through his blood we are healed. 
Amen!
