CONTEND FOR THE FAITH

Lady of Light

In the book of JUDE 1:2-3, it says:

"Mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints."

I like the wishes for mercy, peace and love to be multiplied, and I believe God does multiply these blessings, among others. The true message of the salvation of Jesus Christ has been given to us, and this letter reminds me of how people "forget" the accuracy of salvation on which we build our faith as well as sometimes change or add to what God has freely given us. Apparently, this problem occurred also in the days of Jude. We must contend for the faith with all we can because otherwise many people get NO message or a distorted one.

Share your faith with someone today or reiterate it to someone!

God bless you and have a great day!

Lady of Light
