In our last few visits we’ve been developing an outline for the book of Jude, the next to the last book of the Bible. We amplified the purpose Jude had in mind for writing this book. Then we amplified the problems the recipients of the book were facing. Now let’s consider what Jude presents as God’s provision.  

I’ve shared some thoughts on verse one. Jude says that if you’re a Christian you were called before you responded. God called you because He loves you. Once you respond to His call He continues to love you. He will do so until the day He presents you without fault before His glorious presence. 
 
This means you are kept by Jesus Christ until that day. He keeps you from falling or stumbling. This doesn’t mean you will never stumble or fall on your journey. What it means is you will not fall or stumble out of God’s grace. Jude blesses you with the promise of mercy, peace and love in abundance. 
 
What we need to do is be aware of the enemy who is out to destroy us. Then we need to build ourselves up in our most holy faith. This involves feeding on the Word of God. It also involves prayer, Spirit directed prayer. And to stay safe, we need to keep ourselves in God’s love. That is, in the sphere of God’s love. God’s love is revealed through His Word, the Bible. 
 
Our responsibility is to keep ourselves within what the Bible says is God’s will as well as do what will please Him. We are to keep on doing that while we wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ when we will be presented faultless before God. What a day that will be!
