We can do better
Early in the church’s history false teachers taught that we should take advantage of God’s grace to do the sinful things we want to do without repercussion (Jud 1:4). Jude had higher expectations of the church than that. He worshipped a God who is able to keep you from falling away and bring you into his glorious presence without a single fault (Jud 1:24). Many of us have become comfortable with our spiritual apathy and have decided to let nature take it’s course while relying on the grace of God. To those of us who have fallen into this trap the Jesus writes, “Remember your first love. Look how far you have fallen. Turn back to me and do the works you did at first.” (Rev 2:4-5) Some of us need to “dig deep,” and rediscover the joy of our salvation and the motivation to follow Christ, living as He did and doing the kind of works He did.
