1:1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, [a]sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
1:2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
1:3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
1:4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord [b]God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
STUDY:
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!
