Our Work Is to Believe

Joyce Meyer – Apr 27, 2024

For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith.

 Romans 1:17 (AMPC)

Our work—the work God asks of each believer—is simply to believe. We are accepted because of our faith, not our good works. Christians are referred to as “believers.” If our job was to achieve, we would be called “achievers.” We often want to place an emphasis on what we do, but our focus should be on what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.

God loves us and accepts us unconditionally. His love is not based on our performance. The Bible says in Ephesians 1:6 (KJV) that we are made acceptable in the Beloved. It was through the sacrifice of the Beloved (Jesus) that we were made acceptable, not that we achieved acceptance. God loves us no matter what, but it is our faith in Jesus that makes us acceptable to God and pleases Him, not our performance.

Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me trust in Your grace, not my own works or anything else I may do. I want my faith in Christ Jesus to be what defines me. Thank You for accepting me unconditionally, amen
