To find out what the work of God is, let us read John 6:28,29 which follows:
(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."
It is not works, but one work that is required, belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior.
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him......" Hebrews 11:6 a
Believe in Jesus as the Savior, that is acceptable to God. This you must do in order to be saved. This is the work which sinners are to do.
Following is a powerful 15 minute sermon clip by Pastor Charles Lawson on salvation. He also discusses his own salvation experience. I urge you to watch this moving sermon, even if you are already saved; you may want to direct unsaved loved ones to listen to it.
Ephesians 2:8 and 9 tells us: (8) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Nothing we can do of ourselves (works) can earn us salvation. It is the gift of God.
A. W. Tozer tells us that many believers feel needing God [Jesus] plus something else is the trouble with us in the following 2 minute sermon clip:
The one thing we need to remember is that we should trust God and Jesus with everything. Put them first in your life.
Much has been written on this blog about how we are living in the last moments of the last days. Go to the search box in the upper right hand side of this page and enter such things as "Rapture", "end times", "7 year tribulation", "Gog Magog War of Ezekiel 38 and 39"and various other topics and several articles will pop up for you to read.
The point being, that Jesus will return very soon for His true believers and take them to be in Heaven with Him while the horrors of the 7 year Tribulation period will be suffered by those left behind; those who never believed in Jesus as the Savior.
Are you Rapture ready?
You must be truly born again from above, truly saved, to be Raptured to Heaven with Jesus.
Do not delay!
("For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) - 2 Corinthians 6:2
Admit that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior. ( Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23)
Believe in your heart and your soul and all your very being that Jesus is the Savior and the only way to heaven (John 14:6; Romans 10: 9,10,13)
Call on Jesus and confess that He is the Savior, whose Redemptive work and shed blood at Calvary can wash all your sins away and make you a new creation in Him when you come to Him in faith (Romans 10:9, 10,13; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are past away; behold, all things are become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are past away; behold, all things are become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17
Time is running out !
Turn to Jesus in faith now, before it is too late!
Jesus will welcome you with open arms of love and forgiveness.
Romans 10:9,10, 13 tells us (9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10)For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12
Hebrews 2:3, 4 tells us: (3) "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him; (4) God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will?"
"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." - Romans 13:11
