John 6:29
Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

The work of God - this is the work of God - this is God's work - it belongs to Him. This work, that belongs to God, is to make us believe in the one He has sent.

If this is God's work, then what part does a believer have in coming to faith in Christ? I say - none. For if I say I have a role in this, then that means I am taking part of the work away from God. This is irrational - it shows no logic. Christ, His One and Only Begotten Son told us - this is God's work. If you still disagree then are you saying, "God needs our help"? His Name is Almighty. So you can't be saying God needs me in any way. Don't forget the Potter - does the clay say to the Potter "what are you doing?"

May God grant you to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and come to know and obey His Holy Word, in Jesus' name, amen.
