A Call to Persevere.
The gospel according to Jude.
Jude chapter 1 verses 17-25.
17. But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.
18. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their
own ungodly desires.” 19. These are the people who divide you,
who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
20. But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith
and praying in the Holy Spirit,.
21. keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of
our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
22. Be merciful to those who doubt;.
23. save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy,
mixed with fear hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
24. To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you
before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy.
25. to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty,
power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages,
now and forevermore! Amen.
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.
Glory be to God.
