Preserved Before The Storm
5 November 2015
"Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:” (Jude 1)
Notice, first of all, that God is the only one active in this text. We are the direct object receiving the blessing from God.
Next, note that we are preserved in Jesus before we are called in the new birth. We do not get eternal security because we believe and become born again. We believe because we are born again. And we are born again because we are already preserved in Jesus Christ.
We were preserved in Jesus Christ even before the journey and storms of our life began.
