Jude 1:14-21 (The Message) Enoch, the seventh after Adam, prophesied of them: "Look! The Master comes with thousands of holy angels to bring judgment against them all, convicting each person of every defiling act of shameless sacrilege, of every dirty word they have spewed of their pious filth." These are the "grumpers," the bellyachers, grabbing for the biggest piece of the pie, talking big, saying anything they think will get them ahead. But remember, dear friends, that the apostles of our Master, Jesus Christ, told us this would happen: "In the last days there will be people who don't take these things seriously anymore. They'll treat them like a joke, and make a religion of their own whims and lusts." These are the ones who split churches, thinking only of themselves. There's nothing to them, no sign of the Spirit! But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!
We will be held accountable for our actions. Everything we do and do not do will be held up against our perfect example, Jesus. There are times when we thought no one was watching that will testify against us in judgment. When we accepted Christ as our Savior, we say that we will follow Him. Yet there are so many who profess to be followers of Christ yet truly only follow after their own personal agenda. What is your agenda, are you following Christ or your own desires? Instead of asking “What’s in your wallet” I am asking what is in your heart?
Love and God Bless,
