  “ But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.” Jude 1 : 17 - 19 NKJV Since godliness with contentment is a great gain, ungodly undertakings have always offered gross gains with greed. Unfortunately, sensual volunteers in godly enterprises have often possessed different services with zeal and zest, offering tremendous deliverables with self-centredness and ulterior motives.

Those who understand the benefits, particularly in terms of attractions of lovers and offensive disposition, do not mess around the calls for focus. Likewise, the body of believer is the temple of God, needing focus on the resources from Heaven for its building. “ But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith “ suggests the uncompromising passage to the throne of grace…your most holy faith. Faith keeps the heart trusting in God through consistent prayer, even when the realities on the ground suggests the opposite.
