Have you had your Joy Juice
today? Stand firm in your faith and
always be ready to share the joy of the Lord boldly!
The book of Jude is one of the
shortest books in the Bible. One
chapter… 25 verses. But within the words of this passage, Jude gives a powerful
message to us all. He reminds Christians
that we need to be vigilant---to keep strong in our faith and beware of false
teaching. We must boldly share the truth of God’s Word and consider it a privilege
to do so!
Jude wrote, warning that “opposition
would come and godless teachers would arise, but Christians should ‘contend
for the faith’ (v 3) by rejecting all falsehood and immorality. Everywhere we turn these days we find
falsehood and immorality, wouldn’t you agree?
But we should stand firm in our faith and make Godly choices so that we
are examples to those around us. If Christians don’t stand out as being
different…then we are not ‘contending for the faith’!

footnote says: “Jude emphasizes the important relationship between correct
doctrine and true faith. The truth of
the Bible must not be compromised, because it gives us the real facts about
Jesus and salvation. The Bible is
inspired by God and should never be twisted or manipulated. When it is, we can
become confused over right and wrong and lose sight of the only path that leads
to eternal life”…and everlasting joy.
Contend for the faith and stand firm in joyfully knowing the Truth
of God’s Word.
