Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” – John 6:28-29 (NIV)
It is interesting that Jesus did not say go out and feed the poor, or any of the other religious activities we attach so much importance to.
The Apostles asked about 'the works' plural but Jesus responded with 'the work' singular.
The Apostles wanted to do 'religious' works but Jesus tells them to just believe.
Jesus wants us to depend on Him for Him to live the Christian life through us.
