IN THE BEGINNING…THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2012
KEEP YOURSELVES
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:21
Though the work of salvation has been accomplished by the work of Christ on the cross, we have an active role to play in the keeping of ourselves. Several times in the Bible we are told to do certain taskS for ourselves: Keep yourselves(Jude 1:21), build up yourselves (Jude 1:20), examine yourselves (2 Corinthians 13:5), Humble yourselves (I Peter 5:6), submit yourselves (James 5:7), comfort yourselves (I Thessalonians 5:11), judge in yourselves (I Corinthians 11:13). Surely, we must be a self disciplined people—especially since we are connected in the body of Christ.
Today, take care and pray for yourself, and I will pray for you.
