Build Up Yourselves

"Build up yourselves," but how?

Jude 20

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

KJV

Jude had just given a list of the terrible things that were perpetrated by some evil people in the church. At the end of all this, he tells the true believers to build themselves up by prayer. Today, we live in an evil world. People who claim to be Christians are guilty of the same sins as people who make no claim to Christianity. Many churches have become nothing more than social organizations that don't even obey the Bible. So, what should we be doing? We need to build ourselves up by prayer. We need to spend time communicating with God. This will build our faith and fortify us against the devil. This we help us to be ready when temptation comes.

 
 

Lord, help me to be faithful in prayer to You. Help me to have a meaningful communication with You. Help me to live a life that points others to You. Help me to glorify You in everything I do.
