But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:19-20
The Apostle Jude reveals alot to us in this small letter, including the affirmation of the Trinity. While alot of Chistians will try to deny the Triune God, they will claim the doctrine of the Trinity doesn’t exist in the Bible, here is another example of an Apostle affirming the Triune God. That the true living God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While the nature of God can be difficult for our human minds to comprehend, its Biblical and revealed by the Holy Spirit
I’m often reminded of what John Wesley said “ Show me a worm that can comprehend man, and I’ll show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God” The fact that the nature of God is difficult for our minds to grasp, should not be a surprise. Look out in the vastness of the universe or the ocean, look at the complexity of the human body and the DNA code, there are many things beyond our human comprehension, it shouldn’t be surprised the Creator is complex in nature
The Apostle Jude here gives us almost a benediction here, praying in the Holy Spirit, Keeping yourselves in the love of God (Father), looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (Son) The Apostle under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit addresses God as Triune , Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is consistent with the teachings of Christ and the other Apostles
As Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. “ Just as the Apostle Paul taught about the Triune God “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (Son), and the love of God (Father), and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14) Or just like the Apostle John taught about the Triune God “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7) Or just like the Apostle Peter taught about the Triune God “elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.” (1 Peter 1:2)
So if your going to deny the Trinity, you have to deny the words of Jesus Christ himself and the Apostles, this is alot of denying of scripture. You either believe the Word of God or you don’t, regardless if your human mind can comprehend the nature of God, we must believe what scripture has revealed to us about God.
But as the Apostle Jude states here to the Church “Build up yourselves on your holy faith” Put your faith in the Triune God, the God of the Bible, not a God made up in your mind or through man-made ideas. Jesus Christ and the Apostles are the foundation of the Christian faith, if you reject their words, your faith in simply built on sinking sand, God bless
