Do you move beyond good intentions to good deeds? 

Right this minute, despite all your failures and imperfections, you are viewed by God as perfect. 

Are we willing to go through the process by which God brings about the fruit of a meaningful life?

Remaining in God’s love is the goal.  Building our lives on the holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, and eagerly anticipating Christ’s return are ways to reach that goal.  Which are you doing well?

Three of Jude’s commands simply describe ways in which we keep ourselves in the love of God. 

John and Jesus led with the most important thing they had to say.

Be circumspect, patient, and wise before jumping toconclusions.

“You will never know Jesus Christ as a reality in your life until youknow Him as a necessity.”  (Allistair Begg)

Like an African Impala, many Christians won’t “jump” if we can’t see where our feet will land.

John learned that making much of himself was meaningless.
