KEEP THE FAITH
Contending For The Faith- Part 7
October 17, 2021
Jude 17-21

How to Contend for the Faith…

1.   Be _________________ of false teachers. (17-19)

“…recall the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles. Above all, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days scoffing and following their own evil desires.”  II Peter 3:2-3 (CSB)

Action step: Be _________________.

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”  I John 4:1 (CSB)

“They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.” I John 2:19 (CSB)

2.    Be _________________ about Spiritual Growth. (20-21)

“But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting expectantly for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life.” vs. 20-21 (CSB)

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”   Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words…the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27 (ESV)
