John 6:28-29 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

Another verse out of John 6 that should be taken literally if we're expected to take the verses about eating His flesh and blood literally.

One verse that does not mean what non Catholics want it to mean.

The work of God is to believe in Jesus and if you believe in Jesus WHAT DO YOU DO?

You follow His commands and His commands are to love God and love neighbor.

Love is action, not abstract belief, feeding the poor, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, giving drink to the thirsty, comforting the sorrowful.....

DEEDS! GOOD WORKS!

Read Matthew 25. Read of the good servant who took was given him and multiplied it many times and the one who buried what was given him.

God wants us to rejoice in our redemption by sharing His love, compassion and forgiveness with others. If we don’t it’s like burying it away thinking that when the master comes for it, he will be pleased that we have not used it or increased it but let it languish.

We have come full circle here. Chavez believed in Jesus, the one whom God has sent. Was he saved? And if not, why not?
