Study 8 STANDING UP FOR THE TRUTH
DAYS OF HEAVEN UPON EARTH
(Scripture Portion: The Letter of Jude)

When Jude began writing this letter he had in mind “”the salvation we share”” –- that is, the salvation shared by all who are saved; but in verse 3 we see that as he began to write, the Holy Spirit compelled him to appeal to his reader ““to contend for the Faith which was once for all entrusted to the saints”” –- or as J. B. Phillips translates it, ‘‘Put up a real fight for the faith which was once for all committed to those who belong to Christ.’’ Thus, we are reminded of the fact that it is our solemn duty, as believers, to stand up for the Truth.
Verse 1 tells us that as Christians we have been ““called……loved by God the Father, and kept by Jesus Christ””; but verse 3 tells us that we are to
contend for the Faith, or, as the word may be translated, we are to defend the Faith. This pre-supposes that the Faith is being attacked. This was the case in AD 66 when Jude wrote this letter (verse 4), but it is also true today. In those days wolves had come into the fold in sheep’’s clothing (Acts 20:29). Today we need not be so concerned about the evil forces at work outside the church, politically and religiously; we should be more concerned about the evil forces at work inside the church, and because there are many false prophets who are doing the work of the Enemy (2 Corinthians 11:15), it is the clear duty of every believer to defend the Faith.
1 . Notice, to begin with: WHAT IS IT WE ARE TO DEFEND?
The answer is: ““The faith once for all entrusted to the saints””. We are to defend the whole body of revealed Truth which is contained in the whole of the inspired canon of Scripture, the Word of God.
What are you defending?Are you sure is "The Faith"? Is what we are called to defend go in line with your Christian living.examine yourself thoroughly. See you in the next part.God bless you.

THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE : But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8. BIBLE PASSAGE: John 16:7-14 INTRODUCATION : In the first part of this lesson, we discovered who the Holy Spirit is, and who active He has been before the creation of the world. We discovered the part He played in the creation of the heaven, and the earth, how He preserves and renews the earth and how He can destroy whenever the need arises. We discussed the part He played in bringing Jesus to the world and how He was involved in every aspect of Christ’s Ministry here on earth. We also mentioned how it was by the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus performed His miracles and that it was the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. We ended the first part by saying tat the Holy Spirit is now actively interested in th

@Livingwater Study 2 My contribution to gospel (Scripture Portion: Philippians 1: 1-11) It is significant that the word ‘gospel’ occurs in this letter nine times: (1) It is a glorious word. It means “good news”, and in John 3:16 we have “the gospel in miniature”, and in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 we have the gospel defined. (2) It is a precious word. All who are truly saved love this grand old word. (3) It is also a much hated word. The Devil hates it like poison, and so do all who oppose the gospel. (4) It is a greatly misunderstood word. How many there are who are ignorant of the gospel and who confuse “religion” with the gospel! (5 ) It is a saving word. It is God’s dynamite to open the human heart (Acts 16:14); to overcome the powers of darkness (Acts 16:18), and to awaken, save and transform (Acts 16:26-34). (6) It is an identifying word. Anyone who is truly born again will speak of “the gospel” – not of religion, or even of Christianity. (7) It is a biblical word. Look up the foll

Sins against the Holy spirit (God's personality)

SINS AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE : Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Matt. 12:31. BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 12:22-37 INTRODUCATION: The Holy Spirit is a person that can be sinned against. Let us beware lest we sin against Him either consciously or unconsciously because the HolySpirit is Fire (Heb. 12:29). And anyone who toys with fire is sure to get burnt. THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE BLASPHEMED AGAINST Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is one sin for which there is no forgiveness (Matt. 12:31-32). It is called the unpardonable sin, the most lawful sin that can be committed on earth. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is ascribing to Satan the work of the Holy Spirit. Beware of belittling the work of the Holy Spirit. This is a very serious matter! THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE INSULTED Now it is the Holy Spirit that presents the atoning work of Christ to the sinner
