1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
1:22 And on some have compassion, [a]making a distinction
1:23 but others save [b]with fear, pulling them out of the [c]fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
STUDY:
Holy faith means the revelation of God’s being, nature and manifestation in nature, events and the life of mankind. It includes the understanding of God’s love for the world, the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ to pay for the sins of man and save him from eternal damnation.
It also involves living according to the word of God by allowing it enter and influence our daily lives. In addition, it means everything done to preserve and spread the love of God to mankind. To build is to consciously and systematically put in place things that will nurture growth of the faith and ensure that it is firmly rooted in God and his righteousness.
As Christians, the task before us is to take personal responsibility for the nurturing and establishment of our faith in God and refusing to allow distraction by the internet, false teachings, materialism, worldliness, negative influence from friends, etc., to hinder our growth in faith. We deserve to grow and we must grow. My friend take the challenge: Build yourself!
Prayer:
Almighty God, grant me the grace to do what is required and needed for my growth in this most holy faith in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
