Living safe in the Lords hand

Scripture:
Jude 1:20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,[g] 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.

Observation:
Keep yourselves safe in Gods love. What does that mean? the writer of the Book of Jude makes a clear point that many deceptive teachers had come in and taught false doctrine in the Church. He warns those who had ears to heat, that they must be on guard of such teaching. Hell tells them that in order to keep your lives safe in the Gods love there are three things that need to be attended to: they are:
1. Building each other up on the your most holy faith
2. Praying in the power of the Holy Spirit
3. Waiting on the mercy of the Lord Jesus who brings eternal life.

Hmmm. what does this all mean? I think the Lord wants us to live secure life's in him. Risky and dangerous as they may feel, in the hand of the Lord safe is the measure of it.

Application:
so, while in the safety of the Lord, i want to live building others up in their faith, pray often in my prayer language, and wait on the Lord to respond His way and in His time

Prayer:
Lord help me to keep myself safe in your hand. - i love you
