“Building yourselves
up on your most holy faith” Jude 20
Peter tells us to “grow
in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ”. (II Pet. 3:18) The psalmist
said that for the believer “his delight
ourselves in the law of the Lord”. (Ps. 1:2) Paul told Timothy that he
should continue in the “Holy Scriptures
which will make you wise unto salvation.” (II Tim. 3:15) Since Timothy was
already saved and a leader in the church, this makes us understand the words unto salvation means to live like a
saved person, not just become saved. Again, the psalmist says, “How shall a young man keep his way pure? By
taking heed according to Your word.” (Ps. 119:9)
The Holy Scriptures not only teach us the way to salvation,
they teach us the way to live in our salvation. We must have faith in the word
of God, the Bible. Jesus said, “sanctify
them in Thy word, Thy word is truth.” John 17:17 We need God’s word for our
daily sanctification. If we are to build ourselves up in our most holy faith,
then we must be in God’s word each day.
Father, We than You for Your perfect Word. Amen
