Matthew 12:50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

What IS that 'will'???

 

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"

Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

[Theophilus]

"The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Amen.

...thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

>> “What IS that ‘will’? “ <<

To live by his commandments (all of them, not just the comfey ones)

It starts with hearing Moses read in your synagogue, every sabbath day.

How are you doing?

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Torah)

To learn how to “ believe in the one he has sent,” one must read John’s first epistle with belief that John, the beloved apostle, knew what he was talking about.

John said clearly that to believe in Yehsua, we must do what Yeshua did, and live our lives exactly as he lived his own.

Yeshua lived by all of the Father’s commandments, the eternal importance of which he declared in the 5th chapter of Matthew’s gospel.

The result of not doing so is described in the middle of Matthew’s 7th chapter.

Nothing about “believing in” Yeshua has been left to guesswork.

YMMV
