Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
This is the work of God—That lies at the threshold of all acceptable obedience, being not only the prerequisite to it, but the proper spring of it—in that sense, the work of works, emphatically "the work of God."
What shall we do . . . the works of God—such works as God will approve. Different answers may be given to such a question, according to the spirit which prompts the inquiry. (See Hosea 6:6-8; Luke 3:12-14). Here our Lord, knowing whom He had to deal with, shapes His reply accordingly.
