Contend earnestly for the faith!

 Dearest Christ followers, Jude, in the verse above, appeals to his readers to contend earnestly for the faith.

We should also be contending earnestly for the faith.

We have received a gift from our FATHER.  This gift is given freely to all who repent and believe in JESUS CHRIST as their REDEEMER.

However, our faith is precious, and we need to nurture it and, as Jude urges, we need to contend for it. To contend with something is to "struggle" for it.

Our faith should be very precious to us.  It is the way for us to get to spend eternity with JESUS in Heaven.  It is the way to avoid spending eternity in hell.

Therefore, today, let us resolve to earnestly contend for our faith.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU that YOU have given me the free gift of YOUR grace.  FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU help me to earnestly contend for my faith.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!
