John 6:28-29 Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" v.29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.
When the disciples asked Jesus how to do the works of God He told them to believe in Him. Believe He's the Son of God, that He went to the cross to become sin on our behalf, to believe He took all our punishment and bore all our sicknesses and diseases, believe He rose again from the dead and gave us His righteousness and grace, forgave all our sins, and gave us the gift of eternal life.
The disciples thought they had to do something first but Jesus made it very straight forward. He didn't give them a list of rules and laws and 'things you have to do to please me'. No, He just told them to believe God sent Him and believe He did all He did and put our trust in Him. When we do that, then He'll enable us to love others and do whatever good works He wants us to do.
So when we believe in Jesus we're believing God's word when He says He will supply and He will do all He says He will do, and to receive it by faith.
God is a loving God and He loves to give. All our faith is required to do is to believe and receive what God is holding out to us in His word and thank Him for it. That is the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus. And don't forget, it not only covers our salvation but every other thing we shall need in the days to come till we go to be with Jesus. Hallelujah, what a Saviour! Thank You Lord!
