Toil Quoting

Man has but a meager part to perform. To which Jesus referred when He said, in answer to those desiring to work the works of God, "This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent" (John 6:29). Man’s part is so slight as to be aptly defined by the often used, theological oxymoron "passive activity." Mans part is to believe, to trust and rely on the finished work of Christ and the continuous work of God’s Spirit. God’s part is working. Ours part is to believe. If we do not do the work of God in believing in Christ, we will never be suited to work with Him—to be used of Him to inspire the same faith in others.

Simply put, the work of God is God working.
