Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you:
Believe in the one he has sent.”
Quit striving. Just believe. All things are possible when you
believe. Peace and rest are real when you believe in His grace. Power and
strength are yours when you believe. The only work He desires from you is to
believe in His Son He has sent to die for your sins—to believe in the new life
He has bought for you. When your work is born of the flesh, what you do will
never be good enough in your own eyes. You not only judge others, but yourself.
When born of this Spirit all things are possible, because your work is an
outflowing of the loving grace He has wrought in your life. At Calvary He had
mercy on you. While you were yet in sin, He, who was free from sin, took yours
to the cross. There He paid your debt. There He set you free. When you accept Him
as your Savior, He sees you through the love He gave for you. To Him you are
righteous—blameless in His sight. You can never do enough to be good enough.
The only work that He desires from you is for you to surrender your life and believe
in the Savior He has sent. His grace is a free gift. Offered without hesitation
to you, that gift cost Him everything. He believes you are worth it, or He wouldn’t
have given His life. Allow His grace to change your life! Allow His heart to become yours.
