Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
When Jude revealed to whom his epistle was written, he did not reveal where they were from but did identify their relation to the Father and Son. He did so by using three words that identified them and their position as believers: called, loved, and kept. These words also describe Christians today, and demonstrate the work of the Godhead in our salvation experience. Our “calling” is through the work of the Holy Spirit; “love” being a continuing manifestation from God the Father toward us; and “kept” describing the ministry of Jesus Christ in providing us assurance of our future. With knowledge that we as Christians are called, loved and kept, we have the peace and power to contend for the truth of God’s Word in the face of the apostasy, heresy, and unbelief we may encounter.
As you contend with the unbelief in today’s world, take comfort in the fact that God’s presence has been, is, and will be with you to provide guidance as you faithfully serve Him!
“To those who are the called, loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ.” (Jude 1:1c – HCSB)
May God Richly Bless You Today
