HIDING IN HIS LOVE

Jude 1:20-21

But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.

As the world celebrates the birth of the Messiah (whether they know Him or not) the reflection should be on the essence of the coming. 

John 10:10b

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

For as we saw yesterday, love was the reason for His coming. The expression of His love was to bring us out of death into life. This love God expressed towards man was in Yeshua, Jesus the Christ. He was the definition of love. 

For man died when he disobeyed, for he chose death. The condition was made clear to him "the day you eat this fruit, you die". Thus man chose death in disobedience. Of course man cannot save himself, no one could save man except the creator Himself, thus Christ had to come pay the price. 

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Death in all things even to eternity, thus when LIFE came it was LIFE in all things even to eternity. Glory to God. 

So every believer, just as we see in our opening verses, is kept safe by God in His Son Jesus the Christ. This is the canopy, yes the secret place of the Most High. 

We do not just eat and drink, we meditate on the victory we have in the Son, we show forth the praises of Him who brought us out of darkness into His marvelous light. We also draw as many as are willing out of darkness into this light. 

Jude 1:22-23

And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.

Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.

Be reconciled to the Heavenly Father. 

No one should reject so great a salvation, and you who have come, your faith be strengthened by His Spirit as we continue in prayers, worship and study of the word. 

We are safe in His love.

He calls us blessed. 

Love
