The Bible teaches that the work of God is to believe in Jesus Christ, whom the Father has sent (John 6:29).
The work of God, as outlined in scripture, particularly in John 6:29, is to believe in Jesus Christ. When questioned by those He fed about what works they could perform to gain eternal life, Jesus clarified that the only work required is faith in Him. This reflects the central tenet of sovereign grace theology that salvation is a gift from God, not earned by human effort. Additionally, this perspective highlights that faith itself is also a miraculous work of God in the heart of the believer, emphasizing the divine initiative in salvation rather than human endeavor.
