Jude 3 GNV - Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, to exhort you, that ye should earnestly contend for the maintenance of the faith, which was once given unto the Saints. Jude 3 GNV

Today’s focus on Jude 3 reminds us that faith is not just something we inherit or know intellectually — it is something we actively maintain. The GNV highlights “the maintenance of the faith,” emphasizing that defending the truth requires both holding fast to God’s Word and living it through godly example. In John 12:1–11, we see how true discipleship is measured not by what we receive from Christ, but by our love for Him expressed in action, even when life is difficult or outcomes are disappointing. Standing on conscience — whether in small daily choices or in moments that test our loyalty to God — is part of this maintenance. Each act of obedience, each refusal to compromise, each prayer to rebuild trust in God after disappointment is a step in defending and living the faith. True faith is not passive; it is a daily, conscious, and practical commitment to Christ in thought, word, and deed.

Happy Preparation Day
