Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent” (John 6:29; NLT).
Does Jesus ask too little,
Or does he ask too much?
What does he truly ask of us,
And does he ask enough?
What Jesus wants is kindness,
And gentleness, and faith;
Deep, patient love, and self-control –
And so he gives us grace.
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8; NLT).
The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-3; NLT).
