Dwell in God’s Love
Jude 1:21 (NKJV)
…keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Kept
in
God’s
Love
This verse teaches us about nurturing our relationship with God through intentional actions. We “keep ourselves in the love of God” by spending time in prayer, reading and meditating on scripture, and showing love and kindness to others. It’s about actively living out our faith, rather than passively hoping for spiritual growth. Looking for the mercy of Jesus Christ emphasizes a forward-facing hope. It’s a reminder to trust in His grace and look ahead to the eternal life that He promises. It inspires us to remain steadfast, even when faced with challenges, because of the assurance we have in His mercy.
This verse can be applied to daily life by making faith the foundation of our actions and decisions. Whether it’s helping a neighbor, staying patient during difficult times, or simply starting your day with prayer, these actions align with keeping ourselves in God’s love and living with hope.
Looking towards the mercy of Jesus Christ instills a sense of hope for the future. It serves as a powerful reminder to place our trust in His grace and look forward to the eternal life He promises us. This perspective empowers us to remain resolute even in the face of adversity, grounded in the assurance of His mercy. So whether we offer assistance to a neighbor, practice patience during tough times, or begin our day with prayer, these deeds reflect our commitment to keeping ourselves enveloped in God’s love and living in hopeful anticipation.
