BUILD YOURSELVES UP / JUDE 1:20-21

(KJV) Jude 1:20

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹ keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

True believers must defend and promote the Christian faith and resist false teaching in four ways:

1. By building ourselves up in our most holy faith. The holy faith is the New Testament revelation handed down by Christ and His original messengers as we have it in the New Testament of God’s Word (Jude 1:3). This requires the diligent study of God’s Word and a determined effort to apply the Bible’s teachings to our lives (Acts 2:42; 20:27; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 5:12).
2. By praying in the Spirit. We should communicate and interact with God by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. This means depending on the Spirit to inspire, guide, energize, sustain and help us pray according to God’s will (1 John 5:14). The Spirit also helps us to do effective spiritual battle as we pray (Romans 8:26, Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 6:18). Praying in the Spirit includes praying with one’s mind (in one’s own language and understanding) and praying with one’s spirit (1 Corinthians 14:14-15).
3. By remaining under the care and influence of God’s love. This involves faithful obedience to God and His Word (John 15:9-10; 1 John 5:3).
4. By living with great desire and anticipation for Jesus’ return and the eternal glory that will accompany His return (John 14:2).
