Keep yourselves in the love of God

Jud 1:20  But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Jud 1:21  Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jud 1:22  And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Jud 1:23  And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Those who are NOT caught up in living for their senses, being deemed sensual over spiritual must receive instruction. We must, because do to otherwise is to leave ourselves wide open for deception. We are told to BUILD UP OURSELVES and do that on our MOST HOLY FAITH- PRAYING in the HOLY GHOST. We are told to KEEP OURSELVES in the LOVE OF GOD. We are told to LOOK FOR the MERCY of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE. We are told to have COMPASSION. We are told to SAVE with FEAR- PULLING others out of the FIRE- what fire? The fire that is eternal- the fire that destroys to the uttermost- the fire that burns to ashes never to rise up again in any way, in any form- the fire that takes the whole being the living soul- the spirit and the flesh.  SAVE from the fire. We are told to HATE even the garment spotted by the FLESH- the sensual. 

The garment spotted by the flesh.

Hate the garment.

Why would you hate a garment? Hate something that clothes you? Or rather when would you hate a garment?  You wouldn't like to wear a filthy garment would you? Most people would MUCH rather have on clean garments than dirty ones, right? What would you think about someone giving you a garment that is filthy with all manner of filth? Seriously? A garment spotted with all the filthy flesh diseases is held out to you- what would you do? Would you reach to take it or would you shrink away from it, doing all you can to keep it away from you? The answer should be yes, you'd run far, far away from it and in fact you'd hope someone would burn up that filthy garment so no one could ever be infected by it, not ever!

The garment spotted by the flesh is that filthy garment. It's the flesh traits that people wear, that people reveal in themselves. We are NOT supposed to encourage the flesh traits, the carnal nature, that which would kill the spirit in favor of the flesh. We are NOT supposed to love those flesh garments draped over others or those we unfortunately all too often don ourselves. We are supposed to HATE the flesh spotted garments. We are supposed to seek the clean garments of CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS! We are supposed to desire the filthy garments to be removed…

Zec 3:3  Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Zec 3:4  And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

TAKE AWAY the filthy garments!

Please TAKE AWAY our filthy garments!

Let our iniquity pass from us, clothe us with a change of raiment, clothe us with CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS!

Rom 13:14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

By the grace of our God we must put on HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and truly hate the garments that are spotted by the flesh, the filthy garments filled with flesh and no spirit.

We have to build ourselves up on our most holy FAITH, praying in the HOLY GHOST.
We must keep ourselves in the love of GOD.
We must look for the mercy of our LORD JESUS CHRIST- unto eternal life.

Our lives must reflect our faith! And that faith is reflected in our lives so others may see and by the grace of God may they be inspired by the SPIRIT to seek God, to seek living in the SPIRIT and not the flesh.

All by our GOD'S LOVE!
