Accomplish the works of God

“So they said to him, ‘What can we do to accomplish the works of God?’
Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God,that you believe in the one he sent.’” (J 6: 28-29)

Quite often we think about our relationship with God as a matter of what we can do: “what can we do to accomplish the works of God?” But God prefers a different way, not what to do, but how to be with Him because believers first recognize their identity and relationship with God—who they are, and secondly, express their faith and beliefs.

“One does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” (Gospel Acclamation)
