But it's this, it's this that we return to over and over.

Beloved in God, I've been called by God.

And that truth, it safeguards the heart more than anything else in what is so often a discouraging world.

Called, beloved, and now kept.

This church, or the churches that Jude is writing to, they are experiencing gross sin.

There is heresy, there is conflict, there is division.

You think, maybe they're not worth it.

Maybe you give up on this group.

Or maybe you give up on this church or give up on these individuals.

Dismiss them as not worth it.

But Judah at the outset is reminding them, no, this God who called you, this God who loves you, is the same God who keeps you.

You are more than worth it.

So much so that he will keep you no matter what.

Our God is not in the habit of losing that which he has purchased.

He's not in the habit of not completing a work that he began.

No, every single one of our enemies has triumphed over our God.

He wins.

And because he wins, we win.

He loses nothing, Jesus said.

I lose nothing of all that the Father has given to me.
