Jude 1:20, 21 - Keep Yourselves In The Love Of God.

Jude 1:20, 21 (NLT) But you, dear friends, 
must build each other up in your most holy faith, 
pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21 and 
await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will 
bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep 
yourselves safe in Gods love. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   When police officers are in trouble, what 
do they do? They call for backup. That is what 
believers need to do as well. When we are being 
hassled or tempted, we need to call for backup. We 
are to stand strong in the Lord and in the power 
of His might. 
   James 4:7 says, "Therefore submit to God. 
Resist the devil and he will flee from you." Notice 
it doesn't say that we are to submit to God and 
carry on extended conversations with the Devil. We 
want to keep our distance from the enemy, being 
careful never to yield to his suggestions. 
   Disobedient and persistent waywardness 
provides the Enemy a foothold from which he can 
attack and influence the Christian. So flee 
temptation and don't leave a forwarding address. Keep 
your distance from the things that could drag you 
down. 
   We must learn from the example of the 
Israelites who, in spite of their privileges and 
exposure to miracles, did not keep themselves in the 
love of God. As a result, they faced judgment. 
   We must learn from the example of the 
fallen angels who, even though they once worshiped 
God in heaven, they rebelled against Him and 
became demons in hell. 
   We must learn from the example of the 
people living in Sodom and Gomorrah who, in spite 
of the fact that they were exposed to the 
preaching and ministry of Abraham, Lot, and even 
Melchizedek, they rebelled against God. 
   These all failed to keep themselves in 
the love of God. So let's make sure we are 
taking every step to do that. [Every Day with Jesus
