What Are The Works Of God That We Are To Do?

submitted by Love240 to Christian 1 monthApr 30, 2025 06:17:35 ago (+2/-3)     (Christian)

Continuing on from the post from yesterday, What Does It Mean To "Believe In Jesus"? [7:02] | Onorato Diamante, we are picking back up in John 6;

26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Making application of these verses, we as social beings do seek comfort in filled bellies and in fitting-in or rather, finding place among our peers; these are our fleshly desires, a few among others of course, and we do work for them to one degree or another.

We can see Jesus is contrasting theses 'meats'; One is of the flesh, which is worked for, and the other of the spirit, which the Lord gives to those who are sealed by the Father. (For more on this read Ephesians 1, in particular verses 11-14.)

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.

Again we see that the works of God are that we believe on him whom the Father sent, our Lord and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope this blesses you.

In-spite of the copious amount of digital ink you waste, you are still not correct in your assertions. For the love of Christ! You worship from a bible that was Bastardized by King James! You are frequently in error, you're like a child with a hand gun! You're understanding of the Bible is stunted! You are outside of the Church Proper! I would have the same level of discussions with inanimate objects as I have with you! Nothing gets through your head! The fact remains... If you are outside the One True Church that Christ Himself Founded, The Holy Roman Catholic Church, You are outside the Church! And this being the case renders all of your thoughts and posts meaningless!

No true Scotsman fallacy. Why would you use such word weapons against my friend? If the Catholic Church told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?

The fact remains... If you are outside the One True Church that Christ Himself Founded, The Holy Roman Catholic Church, You are outside the Church!

Once again you quote dogma and traditions of men that bears no semblance to the Word of God, The Bible, and Jesus Christ the Son of God.

It's always interesting to note that you false brethren can never come against 'grace by faith in Christ alone' with scripture; because scripture over and over again affirms grace by faith in Christ alone.

You are on the broad path to hell.

I do still pray God will give you repentance and that you will turn from your error and believe on Jesus Christ alone for salvation from sin and death.

I guess the Truth does look like "dogma" when you've been led astray your entire life by false preachers that misinterpret Scripture and make up their own Biblical teachings...

Jesus is truth.

I need no man to teach me, as the Holy Spirit guides me into all truth.

You are deceived and are trying to deceive others.

Repent of the blasphemy of the RCC and believe in Jesus Christ alone for salvation from sin and death.

@Love240 is a robot, incapable of rational thought. He claims to agree that scripture cannot contradict itself, but when confronted with actual bible verses that contradict his interpretation he freaks and hand waves and has no real argument.
I am done wasting my time on him.

@Love240 is a robot, incapable of rational thought.

You cannot demonstrate in any manner whatsoever that I am not a man.

He claims to agree that scripture cannot contradict itself, but when confronted with actual bible verses that contradict his interpretation he freaks and hand waves and has no real argument.

If by 'freaks and hand waves and has no real argument', you mean I bring the Word of God and prove it definitively while you stick your fingers in your ear and cower, then that would be true.

Unfortunately whatever spirit you have is preventing you from comprehending the Word of God.

I am done wasting my time on him.

"him", Which is it, am I a robot or a man?

Clearly you are a confused soul.

Yet, I am not done with you, and neither is God, which is why you're still breathing.

Repent of the blasphemy of the RCC and believe on Jesus Christ for salvation from sin and death.

I suspect that @Love240 is young... He will, at some point in his life, have a come to Jesus moment, and will become Catholic. It's inevitable...

Wrong again.

And I don't care how old you pagans are, I hope to God he gives you repentance that you might be saved and not burn in hell for eternity.

The Pope that just died sure looked like a Jesuit black Pope. His fruits were not good. Did you not see the guys with hoods and inverted crosses during the popes funeral? Take a hint, brah. The Vatican is probably infiltrated.

The next Papal election will be interesting! It's likely that the globalists already have a strangle-hold on the Vatican, but, God will not let them prevail! When God is ready to bring a good & proper Pope, We will have a good and Proper Holy Pope again!

If I press 0, do I get to talk to a human?
