Reflection on Jn 6:29
“The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
A group of people once asked Jesus how they could do the work of God. Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” (Jn 6:29) God desires belief and faith from us, for “without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb 11:6).
The word of life we now repeat during our prayer stops also tells us that if we believe in the One whom the Father has sent, that is, Jesus, in a specific situation or problem, God responds to our faith by acting.
The following verses give a deeper insight into this truth related to faith.

Heb 11:1
“Faith is the assurance that the thing which God has said in His word is true, and that God will act according to what He has said in His word… Faith is not a matter of impressions, nor of probabilities, nor of appearances.” (George Müller)
- What does faith make possible?
Mt 21:22
Rom 15:13
Eph 3:12
