But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love. And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. Jude 1:20-23Three ways to keep ourselves safe:  Build each other up, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, await on the Mercy of Jesus.  This keeps us safe in God’s love.  Easy, right?But there are more ways of living The Life in God.  Show mercy to those whose faith is weak, rescue those who are in danger of fire of judgement.  Show more mercy, but keep yourselves from danger of contamination of sin.  This brings discernment and understanding into play.Joy — comes when we rest in God’s Presence — sin-free.  No one else is worthy of glory and praise.  For He his power and authority are His for all time, now and forever.Dear Lord, Please help me to taste His Joy and be sin-free in His Presence.  I worship you and praise you and give you my all.  I surrender to your will and the blessings of being yours, now and for eternity.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.  All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen. Jude 1:24-25
