THE WORK OF GOD

John 6:28-29 (KJV)
“28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
We just celebrated the fact the Father sent us the Christ and that He is now with us (Emmanuel). Believing this is the work of God. In other words, nothing concerning God can work for us, through us, or with us without this. We must believe the Father sent Him to us. We are taking about the work of God or God at work in us. All that we do must be because we believe the Father sent Him to be “with us.” Working independently cannot be if we are doing the work of God. If He is not working with us and through us then it cannot be the work of God. “And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” (Mark 16:20). Works without Him is not His work in us. Living like we believe He is with us; living, doing, being, with Him. “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). This is the work of God. Christ being with us becomes more important than the miracles, or the things we do; to simply know He is with us is the greatest peace and comfort we could ever know. When this is working in us as it should miracles happen, love happens, things that need to happen, happens. When our thoughts are interacting with Him in every choice we make is when we can say He is with us. This is the work of God. Unless we believe this, it cannot and will not work.
