Jude - Praying God's Word

Please read Jude.

Meditate on verse 3b.

Contend earnestly for the faith

which was once for all handed down to the saints.

Jude, like James, was also a half-brother of Jesus Christ who made no claim to this fact. Like James, he referred to himself as a bond- servant of Jesus Christ. A risen Savior turned a skeptical, scoffing brother into a faithful follower (John 7:1-9; Mark 3:20-21).

Jude wrote his letter because people in the church had to be warned. There were mockers in church who followed after their own ungodly lusts. They caused divisions; they were worldly-minded and devoid of the Spirit (Jude 1:18-19). These were people in church, even partaking of the LORD’s Supper as if they were believers in Jesus Christ, yet they were doubly dead, uprooted, and the black darkness had been reserved for them forever (Jude 1:12-13).

God included this letter in the Bible as a letter of warning to you. Attending church and taking communion does not make a person a Christian. Examine people’s behavior; examine your own behavior.

Pray Jude 1:20-21 and 24-25 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, build ________ and me on our most holy faith.

Keep us praying in the Holy Spirit.


Keep us in Your love, God,

as we wait anxiously for the mercy

of our LORD Jesus Christ to eternal life.


You are able to keep us from stumbling.


Make us stand in the presence of Your


glory blameless with great joy.


To You, the only God our Savior,

 through Jesus Christ our LORD,

be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority,


before all time and now and forever.

Amen~”
