In this episode, we take a look at the Book of Jude together. There is so much we can learn from this letter.

We focused mainly on verse 3 and verses 20 and 21. We are to contend earnestly for the faith by keeping ourselves in the love of God. If we are to keep ourselves in the love of God that means we can come out of His love, yet God says nothing can separate us from His love.

Nothing can separate us from His love but we can keep ourselves outside that love. To keep ourselves in the love of God we need to keep looking at Him, considering His love for us through His Son Jesus. To contend for the faith is to build yourself up in His love for you, praying in the Holy Spirit.

To contend for the faith we need to continue in prayer, stay in the Word, keep speaking God's Word, and keep fellowshipping with believers.

The most important thing that came out from our time together was to not look away from His face. Look for the mercy of His face in the person of Jesus.

Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

We finished up by looking at Song of Songs and Revelation 19

Song of Songs 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. This is who we are to Him, his beautiful bride.

Revelation 19

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both[c] small and great!”

6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

Do we see ourselves as the bride He has made us to be?

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

This is who we are. To this we have been called and this is the reason for our hope. Hallelujah!
