As daunting as the times we live in are, we can be thankful that God gives us directions to follow that help us maintain a good relationship with Him.
- Building up yourselves in your most holy faith. Jude 1:20
- Praying in the Holy Ghost. Jude 1:20
- Keep yourselves in the love of God. Jude 1:21
- Looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:21
- Have compassion. Jude 1:22
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jude 1:23
What more could we ask for? God gives us steps for righteous living, and they aren’t that hard. What Jude doesn’t tell us is how satisfying it is to live by faith in Jesus and that we can stop looking to fill the gaps in our emptiness, because Jesus fills that gap, and his love overflows within us, spilling onto everyone we meet, whether they accept that love or not. Hopefully, they will see and wonder how they might receive some of what we have. Jesus is the only way to live without shame in a world that is full of corruption; seek him before it’s too late.
