Safe in the love of God

Jude verses 20 and 21 tell us “But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in the love of God”.

Jude talks about in the last times, there will be scoffers and ones who are creating divisions. He entreats us to build each other up in faith. When the trials of life seem too much to bear, we need each other in the body of Christ, to share our burdens, pray with one another and be encouraged.

Fellowship is essential; with Holy Spirit and with brothers and sisters who follow the Word of God and desire to walk in His ways. Let’s build one another up.

Like a child, we can come, knowing that the nature of our Lord and Friend is goodness and kindness. We can trust Him to take care of all that concerns us. He delights in you and is singing over you – songs of deliverance and freedom. Zephaniah 3:17

“Keeping ourselves in the love of God’ involves disciplining of our minds and taking captive thoughts that are contrary to what the Word says about us. For example, “God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

In Christ we have been given the Spirit of power, enabling us to command the spirit of fear to go. We then allow the peace of God that passes all understanding to guard our heart and minds, in Christ. See in our imagination: Peace like a mighty sentry guarding our minds and hearts so that no darts from the enemy can penetrate.

Shalom
