Saints beware of wolves in sheeps clothing-Jude wrote a short but powerful letter about the problem of false teachers,swaying Christians from the Gospel. He told believers to remember the words of Jesus concerning the last days.See the ungodly teachers of the false faith promote a make believe religion,full of immoral living standards which defile and deny the things of God.They practice feeding off the flock instead of feeding the flock.They often tear down and destroy rather than build up and restore.
Have mercy for the doubters:True believers build each other up,so hold tight to the true Gospel and continue to move forward in the faith.The sincere convert humbly bows in prayer and ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance and influence. They eagerly expect the mercy of Christ now and in the life to come,and we must show mercy to them and thus save them from the fires of hell. The receivers of God's mercy needs to be compassionate to stragglers and doubters, those hesitant about the faith.Brothers and sisters in Christ must be kind hearted and tender, not prideful, pushy, or harsh.True faith should result in a desire to live a holy life.Those who have true faith are repulsed by sin even while trying to lovingly rescue those that have fallen into it.They hate sin but show mercy to those that have been trapped by it.
We all have opportunities to respond to people with encouragement. When they come let us leave them with hope,and confidence by sharing with them what God shared with us,Jesus.
Saints God's got you,Jude's final word was,"don't worry about falling.God is more than capable of keeping you standing blameless and tall in His presence,joyfully shouting, singing,and praising Him for sending His son, Jesus Christ.It is He who deserves all glory, power,majesty,and authority now and forever."
