Answered in 1 source

Jesus invites belief in Him based on the evidence of the miracles He performed, affirming His identity and authority.

In John 14:11, Jesus challenges His disciples to believe in Him 'for the very works' He has done. This call to faith emphasizes that the miracles and acts of power He performed are not merely historical events but serve as evidence of His divine nature and authority. By urging belief based on His works, Jesus is indicating that His actions validate His teachings and declarations about Himself, providing a reliable foundation for faith.
