Reflections From Jude
HELP YOUR WORLD
Jude 1:22-23 (NLT) ‘And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment…but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.’ In these last days, we must also be proactive in...
ACHING FOR HIS RETURN
Jude 1:21 (NKJV) ‘keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.’ One thing we must do in these last days is to ensure we remain in the love of God. The love of God is everywhere and for everyone, but not everyone...

FOLLOWING YOUR INSTINCT
Jude 1:10 (NLT) ‘…Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction.’ I don’t trust my instincts. People say they just ‘follow their feelings’ but this can be very dangerous. The feelings and instincts...
FIGHT FOR THE BODY AFTER DEATH?
Jude 1:9 (NKJV) ‘Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”’ There are things not revealed to us in scriptures and some things I...
A CRUCIAL REMINDER
Jude 1:5 (NKJV) ‘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.’ We need to keep reminding each other of the nature of God and the response of God to...
