The Deed God Requires

April 7th, 2018 · No Comments

John 6:29 (New English Translation)

Jesus replied, “This is the deed God requires—to believe in the one whom he sent.”

Pretty simple. What does God require of me? Of each of us? Believe in the one whom He sent, i.e., believe that this Jesus of Nazareth was indeed the Son of God sent to the world to take away my sins so that I can be in God’s presence.

Pretty simple.

Funny how God gave us the brains to twist this about and make it into something far more complicated.
