“But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,” Jude 20 (NIV)
The letter by Jude is short and has no chapter breaks. We realize that the basis for our Christian life is our faith. We became members of God's family when we believed in Jesus Christ as our Savior. After being saved by faith we continue on believing and living by faith. It is God's desire that our faith become stronger and it should be constantly growing. This happens as we trust God for more and more aspects of our lives. This growth in faith is what our verse talks about. It is our privilege and our responsibility to build ourselves up in our faith. God gives us many opportunities to exercise our faith to help it grow. One way to do this is to pay attention to what God teaches us about Himself in the Bible. It is a promise that as we hear the Bible taught and preached and we pay attention, we will be building ourselves up in our faith. God is with us and His Holy Spirit is in us to teach us.
