John 14 - What does He mean to "believe on account of the works themselves?" 2021

John 14:11
"Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; otherwise believe on account of the works themselves.

Yeshua says to entrust in Him for what they have seen if not for what He has said. What does He mean to "believe on account of the works themselves?" He explains further.

John 14:12
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

Whoever entrusts in Yeshua, He should do the same works that Yeshua does. The Greek word for "works" is ergon:G2041. The popular teaching on this passage is that Yeshua is referencing His miracles. But that is not what Yeshua is referring to. The Greek word for "works" is G2041. ergon, from an obs. word erg (to do work); work:-- action(1), behavior(1), deed(13), deeds(52), doing(1), effectual(m)(1), labor(1), result(m)(1), task(1), what he has done*(m)(1), work(34), works(62). The term "works" is a reference to obedience to the commandments.

Eph. 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, that no one should boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

2 Cor. 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;

Rev. 22:12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.

Therefore, if you look at the two verses together where "works" is actually a reference to "deeds of following Torah," then this takes on a different meaning (v. 11-12). Yeshua says that if we do not believe that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him, then believe because of His obedience to His Father's Torah. Then He goes on to say that if we entrust in Him, we will be obedient to Torah just as He is obedient to Torah. Then He says that our obedience to Torah will be even greater because He goes to the Father. And when He goes to the Father, He will send the Spirit of the Father to dwell in them to enable them to be even greater in obedience.
