The Work of God Is Faith: Understanding John 6:29

The Work of God Is to Believe: Why Faith Alone Saves

Unlock the Bible Now with Scott Mitchell | Bible Mysteries Podcast

Summary:
What does God truly require of us? In this teaching, Scott Mitchell uncovers the biblical truth that the only “work” God demands is faith—belief in Jesus Christ. Many are caught in a cycle of religious activity, thinking salvation must be earned through works. But Scripture tells a different story. From Naaman the leper to the words of Jesus in John 6, we find that God’s plan of salvation is simple, yet deeply profound: Believe on Him whom He hath sent.

Takeaway:
God is not looking for ritual, performance, or religious ceremony. He is calling you to believe in the finished work of His Son. Faith is not a step among many—it is the step. If you’ve been relying on works, tradition, or intellect, it’s time to lay those down and believe in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life.
