Today’s Reading: Jude 1:17-23
Today’s Verse: “Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 1:21 KJV
As believers, the Word advises us to pay close attention to the things around us.
We do not want our lives to be controlled by sinful human nature.
Today’s message is a call to action for all believers. It is a command for us to live in obedience. To keep a deep connection with Him. For us to remain in God’s love.
To maintain our faith while we wait on eternal life. A life promised through the sacrifice Jesus made. The goal and hope of our faith.
Let us exercise Godly wisdom, Our God-given ability to distinguish truth from error.
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21 KJV)
The Word is our primary source of guidance. Test it and see that it will always help us make wise decisions.
Hebrews 5:14 KJV, encourages us to train ourselves to know the difference between good and evil through constant practice.
Philippians 1:9-10 KJV, tells us that love should abound with knowledge and understanding to approve what is excellent.
Romans 12:2 KJV, encourages the renewing of our minds to discern God’s will and avoid conforming to the world.
1 John 4:1 KJV, tells us to test spirits to see if they are from God.
We can always pray, like Solomon did. Asking the Lord for an understanding heart to understand the difference between good and evil (1 Kings 3:9 KJV).
Psalms 119:125 KJV reminds us we can ask for understanding to know God’s testimonies. A solemn witness of God’s truth, character, and actions.
We are His children. We have the responsibility to guard our hearts and stay anchored in His love.
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (Jude 1:21 KJV).
We do this by staying in the Word. By seeking His guidance.
