You Can Make A Difference

In a world of 7 billion people, we often ask ourselves "How can I make a difference for the cause of Christ?"  With so many needs, so little time, and so few resources, where do I begin?

In the context of challenging his readers to "...earnestly contend for the faith..." (v3), Jude states "And some of you have compassion, making a difference."(v22)  In v21-23 Jude tells us that you make a difference when you:





Live your life based upon a Holy faith

Directed by prayer in the Holy Spirit

Continually in the love of God

And expecting the return of Jesus Christ.

20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting; 23 save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh. - Jud 1:20-23
