GODS WORKS ATTRACT     8/8/09  

 Scripture – John 10:37 “If I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me.”

 Observations – Jesus went about doing good and healing, loving and doing miracles. He was doing the works of His Father. He makes this amazing statement indicating that He doesn’t expect people to believe Him if He isn’t doing the works of the Father. Whether it is the supernatural or the love and kindness or a combination, it is our fruit that demonstrates what type of tree we are. If we are a tree of righteousness we will have righteous fruit.

 Applications – It is not just talk and argument that wins people to Christ; it is our example and demonstration of His power and love that does it. A person may have the truth, but because of their hardness, people are not attracted. They reject us, not the message. Miracles, healing, love, forgiveness, grace etc. are God-like. We should be ambassadors of Christ. The demonstration of the power and love of God draws people to the Lord. They are then in a position and have an attitude that is more likely to receive what we have to share.

 Prayer – Lord, help me to hear you and see what you are doing; that my works will be your works.
