What Shall We Do?

 "Then they said to him, what shall we do, that we may work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God, that you believe in him whom He sent." John 6:28-29

When is the last time that you heard your pastor or any Fellowship preacher use these verses as his text? Have you ever heard anyone talk about this? I can't remember ever hearing anyone in our Fellowship preach about this in church or at a conference. So let me give a few thoughts on this.

We live in an environment and in a culture of go, and do, and serve, and sacrifice. We take some verses seriously but we ignore others. Don't you think that is a risky way to minister? The people wanted to do something. Jesus said there is only one thing that you need to do and that one thing is to believe.

We condemn people who believe that you must work and do good works to get to Heaven. But we believe the same thing. You cannot work to get saved but you better work like there is no tomorrow to stay saved. God is not pleased unless you work like it all depends on what you do. 

The old country song gives us some revelation. Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get? Bony fingers!
