FIGHT WITH ALL THAT'S WITHIN YOU
You cannot read the book of Jude (a one exclusive chapter book) and not come out
full. It reflects the fate of the condemned and fallen, and exhorts that you
should fight for the faith that was once delivered to you.
You are put in remembrance of the circumstance in verses 5-6 (KJV)
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew
this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believed not.
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Therefore, it is important that you guard the treasure of the gift of His grace so that you will not allow the already condemned to trap or deceive you. You are reminded of that so that you can remember that by the same hand that God delivered He also destroyed.
Here are a few reminders of the fate of those who were defected
verses 5-7:
The Children of Israel who murmured, complained and disobeyed
The Angels who left and changed their position
Sodom and Gomorrah who turned to a lustful and sex-sin-city burnt up with fire
All these served as a warning for those who will not fight and remain in God's grace.They will experience the same, destruction, thrown out and burn.
But there is a people who will not blaspheme. Like the Archangel, Michael, they will give a simple rebuke because they know that God will take care of them. They won't live by their own instincts, nor go the way of Cain, Balaam's greed or Korah's rebellion.
TODAY'S FOCUS: THE REAL LIFE
The real life is to build yourself up in the most holy faith by praying in the Holy Ghost, staying at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and stretched out for His mercy.
While you are ask to be aware of the evil and ungodly, the real life requires you to stand in the gap for others. Review verses 20-23 and list some of the things we are asked to do: (Make a list and also indicate how it can be accomplished)
There is only one that can keep you from falling, redeem and restore you and that is
Jesus Christ your Savior and Lord. It is to Him that all glory, majesty and honor be proclaimed. Anything else or anyone else will fall as those examples you have been given. For desert of this meal think of some in your lifetime that have erred and what has happened to them- This should help you quickly find your way to the redemptive grace of God.
Remember, what has been told to you that in the last days many would come whose purpose is to do evil and lure you to do the same. Do not follow the examples of those who have changed their position. Take the way that leads to the real life. Stay within the boundaries where God's love can reach and bless you. Do not stray but wait patiently for the eternal life that the Lord has promised you. The splendor and majesty of His glory is your reward to live forever in His presence, sinless and perfect in a world without end- Glory Hallelujah!
God Bless you and Keep the Faith!
