Now that Jude has described what a false, fake "Christian" prophet acts like, he tells us what the true believers, the true prophets need to be like.  And again, Jude calls this group of Christians to whom he is writing "Beloved".

Jude 1: 20 "But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."

1.  Building yourselves up…………..in your faith
2.  Praying…………………………..in the Holy Ghost
3.  Keeping yourselves……………...in the love of God
4.  Looking for the mercy…………..of our Lord Jesus Christ
…………………….Unto eternal life.

All of those verbs are active.  Although Jesus does all the saving, we are responsible for what comes after salvation.   It takes a day to day walk with him, actively practicing Godly characteristics with faithful dependance on the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, the indwelling Christ.

"Christ in you, the hope of glory",   Col. 1:27.

……………………….Unto eternal life.  Isn't it going to be great.  Not only will we see Jesus, but all  of our Christian family and friends, Paul, John, Peter, Ruth, Moses, Abraham…….I have a million questions to ask all of them.  "When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun.  We've no less days to sing His praise, than when we've first begun", is what that old song says.  Well somewhere along the way, I want to meet my great-grandmother, and her mother and her mother, all the way back.  It will take eternity.
