Good Monday Morning to this week 2 of 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year i’m planning on taking 52 verses out of 52 books of the Bible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jude 1:21 \u2013 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. Wishing you a great sense of conviction of God’s love for you as you start into this new week. Chapter 2 Good Monday Morning to this week 2 of 2021 This year i’m planning on taking 52 verses out of 52 books of the Bible. Jude 1:21 \u2013 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. Keep yourselves in the love … <\/p>\n
Keep yourselves in the love of God<\/em> ….
Jude\u2019s words are but the echo of the tenderer words of his Master and ours, when He said, \u2018As My Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments ye shall abide in My love.\u2019
The words are in great harmony with the general tenor of Bible and Jesus language: , and, in “continue ye in my love” or in Pauls language \u201cthe love of Christ constraineth us\u201d.
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ<\/em> ….
The verb implies, that the \u201cmercy\u201d is thought of as in the future. There is no ground, however, for limiting it to this significance, and it may well include all acts of mercy to which men were looking forward in patient expectation, as in store for them during the remainder of their earthly pilgrimage.
Thoughts for Every-Day Living writes it beautifully:
\u201cKeep yourselves in the love of God\u201d does not mean keep yourselves loving God, but keep believing and rejoicing that God loves you. \u201cConviction\u201d is a good word there, because it comes from con<\/em> and victum\u2014con<\/em>quered, or vinculum<\/em>\u2014a chain. Be conquered, be enchained, by the thought that God loves you. \u201cKeep\u201d means guard, protect, as in a fortress. Live in this castle, and no enemy of doubt or fear can by any means hurt you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
