Thoughts





Thoughts

This faith walk can seem complicated at times yet over and over again we are told that the real work has been done on the cross. We are asked to do the work of believing. John 6:28-29 reads: "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." I think it is easy to get full of our selves and create real and imagined obstacles to living out our faith.  I believe we are to hold fast, "to not harden our hearts" and handle the word of God with care.  In John 6:27 Jesus says  "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you" and in 2Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."  Is it that simple; to just believe, rest in the fact the work is done, "hold to our original conviction" and to "meditate on God's precepts and consider his  ways."?
