Confidence

Jude 1:1-2
Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: 2 May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.


Reading this passage is a beautiful reminder to believers in Christ of who we are in Him.
Thank you for encouraging us so beautifully, affirming that our confidence in You is secure forever.
"To those who are the called, the beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ."

We are “the called”, speaks to me of the immense privilege of being Your child, elected by You even before the foundation of the world. (Eph 1:4).

We are loved by you so greatly that you call us Your “beloved in God the Father”, an
endearing way of saying that we are truly and deeply loved by You. You treasure your children and delight in them. Each one of us, that you know so well, is so special to you.

We are kept for Jesus; the word kept means taken care of, guarded by Him. This is another word that reminds me once again that my safety is not the absence of danger but the presence of Jesus Himself that is with me always.
Your mercy, peace and love are available to us in the fullest measure at any time of need.
We have only to ask.

Thank You Father for being our God; holy, faithful, and the only one true living God.
We can confidently trust you in all things!
