Today’s Thought “A Boy Scout’s Oath” G. Ward

 

Jude 1:3, “Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all time handed down to the saints.”

 

Our salvation through Christ (as followers), consciously made our repentance of sins known to this Wonderful Savior-Jesus; whereby we were assured of HIS forgiveness, to then determine our lives were/are HIS to do as HE pleases. Moreover, that assurance provided, trusts in all Christ demonstrated by loving us, while we were still sinners and caused a heavenly fraternal order’s expansion – altogether inclusive, to any who’ll place their trust in this Greatest Leader’s protection to cheer and to guide. Our theme’s writer, invited believers then and thereafter to fight hard to protect the core truths of Christianity because false teachers were and still are covertly preying on some vulnerable to being impressed with wrongful additives and subtractions, while insisting they too believe (cf. 1 John 2:19).

 

And Lord God, Your Word guides us into knowing the particulars of the grace provided by our Lord Jesus; even considerate of that which honors men, but worship only belongs to Holy God and that adoration we have for You honors our newest posture through Christ celebrates HIM for who He is and what He has done. So, we pray, may each one involved in this love relationship lean less each day to their own understanding, but allow Jesus to lead them from earth to Heaven. Amen.
