Jude 25 KJV [25] “to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” Our verse is the only place in this epistle where Jude calls our Lord “Savior.” Peter used this title five times, but Jude began by reminding us of the common salvation. He now brings it down to the climax for every soul that reads this epistle, can you call Him your Savior? It is not enough to say that Jesus Christ is “a savior” or “the savior”, but we must say along with Jude in this verse …
“How to Keep From Falling”
Jude 24 KJV [24] “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,” If we make it to the end of our journey without falling into sin or false doctrine, it will be all because of Him. To be able to stand in His presence faultless with exceeding joy will also be because of Him. We cannot accomplish either of the truths in this verse by ourselves. Thank God that what we cannot do, He is able to do through us. Relying on …
“Be Careful in the Rescue”
Jude 23 KJV [23] “and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” In our verse, we see a great rescue. Someone was almost completely gone, and a brave soul rescued them from the fire. In light of this epistle, Jude speaks about rescuing someone from heresy, maybe a brother or sister who has fallen prey to false teaching and is being led astray by damnable doctrine. We can also make the application concerning a lost person being led astray by these apostates. Their ultimate end is going to be …
“You Can Make a Difference”
Jude 22 KJV [22] “And of some have compassion, making a difference:” Is it possible for someone like me or you to make a difference? After all, we are just one individual in a world population of approximately eight billion souls. The devil wants us to believe that there is no way we can make an impact in this world or in the world to come. Sadly, many believers have bought into his lies and have blended into society without any burden for those around them. They are perfectly content with letting their family members, neighbors, and those they meet …
“An Absolute Must”
Jude 21 KJV [21] “keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude admonishes believers to build their lives on the Word of God, pray in the power of God, and remain in the love of God. If a Christian does the first two things, the last one will come naturally. The Word of God and prayer will keep an individual in the love of God. Our passion for God comes when we fellowship with Him in His Word and prayer. Our pulpits are dry, and our pews …
