TOPIC: Preserved In Jesus Christ
READ: Jude 1:1-5 (KJV)
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
THE MESSAGE:
To preserve means to be kept away from corruption and decomposition so that the original state can be maintained. Christians are of seeds that are incorruptible which lives and abide forever. The wicked forces will try as much as they can to bring pollution into the lives of children of God through various methods and means. But, our text today joyfully reassures us that those who are loved of God are preserved by the Lord Jesus Christ.
God who has called you is able to keep you till the end. The Christian journey is by faith in the complete work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. Your faith is needed to keep you firmly rooted in the purposes and will of God. There is corruption and corrupting tendencies in the present world systems and values but a deep understanding, with strong conviction of the power and provisions of Jesus Christ to keep His loved ones, provide a strong base for standing strong in the face of temptations.
PRAYER: Lord, give me sufficient grace to preserve my faith in Jesus Christ to the end. Amen!
