After Jude says that he was compelled to strongly encourage us to contend for RIGHT&TRUE Faith in The Lord,In Jude 5-13 he gives several examples of how people did not contend for RIGHT&TRUE Faith,and how self centeredness;lust;perversion;arrogance;insolence;grumbling;impatience;& lack of REVERENCE/RESPECT/TRUST FOR the Lord & His Word are the core viruses that we need to BATTLE/CONTEND AGAINST in our hearts/minds/lives. Jude summarizes what happens when we do not contend for RIGHT&TRUE Faith in Jude 16 -> “These men are grumblers and faultfinders;they follow their own evil desires;they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.” Then Jude tells us -> “But you, dear friends, building yourselves up on your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit (seeking to be sensitive to God’s Word enabled by trusting in Jesus alone for our salvation), keep yourselves in The Love of God, looking for (dependent on) the mercy of Christ unto eternal life (with all perseverance!).Many of the people Jude mentions in 5-13 as examples of what NOT to do let worldly contentions/challenges; discomfort; temptations; impatience; pride; ego; arrogance; insolence..., win the Battle for their RIGHT&TRUE Faith in Christ. Jude says that the only way to avoid these contentions is to consistently “build yourselves up in your most holy faith..”!->Be Prepared to Contend for our faith by spending regular diligent time/persevering with The Lord in prayer and remembering His Word & studying what God Truly Says about Himself and us! Dear Lord, I fail miserably at being prepared to contend for my RIGHT&TRUE Faith in You so much...but Your Grace has never failed to lift me out of this before I fall to far. I pray for Your Help to remind me of my need to be much better prepared to contend for all that is The RIGHT&TRUE Faith in You… all that will bless me with RIGHT&TRUE perseverance all my days.
