Bible: Jude 1:1-7(6501) Title: Keep the Way of Faith
Judas was eager to protect the church and the saints from the influence of false teachers, so he took up the brush to write a letter that the saints must fight hard for and keep the faith that they acquired at once.
There are three characteristics of Christians. 1) Those who are called 2) Those who have been loved by God the Father 3) Those who have been kept for Jesus Christ.
1. Driving lines to be observed
We have something to protect. You must protect your body from viruses, bacteria, environmental pollution, and the risk of accidents as a healthy body. We must defend ourselves from evil men, from unrighteous thoughts and thoughts, and from ungodly temptations.
You have to keep your home. We must protect ourselves from the lust, sexuality, violence and misunderstandings that separate us. We must protect our children from evil, and we must take good care of our possessions and protect them. We must protect the church. We must protect ourselves with the Holy Spirit and the Word from heresies and sects, divisions and strife. We must protect our country. It must be protected from civil wars, riots and terrorism that seek to overthrow the country. Infants cannot defend themselves. Those who can do it on their own are young adults and fathers. Mature Christians must fight hard to keep the way of faith.
“Beloved, building yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keeping yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life” (Jude 1:20-21).
The same thing between 'top' and 'earth' is that both are round and rotate. The difference is that the top stops if you don't keep hitting it with the top. Even if God does not strike with a whip like a top, even if it does not operate by supplying electricity or fuel, the earth rotates according to the word that God once commanded at the time of creation, and it does not stop and turns well, day and night, with energy, vitality, and abundance. . The word that God commands to nature is not spoken twice. Just once is enough. However, man, who is the lord of all things, refuses to listen to God even if he repeatedly speaks, sends prophets and apostles, sends his Son, and sends the Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 1:2-3, Jeremiah 5:22)
A lifeless religious person needs someone to keep whipping, turning, and turning like a top to keep it running. However, believers with vitality return voluntarily because they have vitality.
2. The way to make a U-turn
1) Religion without love Cain's way is Cain's religion, which does not love God and neighbors, but engages in religious activities.
2) The way of Balaam's ups and downs of faith without sacrifice is a religion of ups and downs that uses religion to pursue human greed.
3) Spirit of division Korah's way is arrogant and builds power without Moses' command, slanders the leader, turns away from the path of division and sect that he wants to become a leader, and keeps our faith.
4) The way of false teachers is those who have the spirits of Cain, Wind, and Korah and have received the spirit of the angel of light and the devil who is trying to tempt and overthrow the church and the saints.
Even the people of Israel, who had been dancing and holding onto the shores of the Red Sea after the Exodus, were saved by the Egyptian army and the Red Sea, but as unbelievers who did not believe in God, they were destroyed. There is. We must keep the way of faith with the words of Christ's grace so that we do not lose eternal life.
Conclusion: Keep our faith with your power and mercy.
