BELIEVE
Today's reading: John 5-6

"They replied, What does God want us to do? Jesus told them, This is what God wants you to do: Believe in the one he has sent." John 6:28-29 NLT

Of all the things we can do to help ourselves, to help others, to help the world in which we live--believing in Jesus is what God desires of us.

Believe Jesus was born from a virgin.

Believe Jesus lived a sinless life.

Believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

Believe Jesus rose from the grave.

Believe.

Believe that believing in Jesus for salvation is the chief end of all humans God created.

Charitable work is nice.

Ministering is helpful.

Doing for others is kind.

But believing? Believing is what God has asked us to do.

All else advances from that single foundational command.
