Instructions Against Destruction

From the Epistle of Jude
in the New Testament of the Holy Bible:

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 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. And of some have compassion, making a difference: and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen.-Jude 1:17-25***Approximately 30 years after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to  preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Meanwhile, the  disciples of Jesus the Christ sometimes exhibited little faith or no faith. Many Israelites in Nazareth, Galilee, the hometown of Joseph and Mary and the place wherein Jesus had lived with them and the other children in the household, did not express faith. Jesus saw other people throughout the region physically express their faith, including a woman who had been steadily bleeding for 12 years, and the friends of a paralyzed man. Jesus performed a healing miracle on behalf of a centurion who had great faith, and a Gentile, a person not born into the Israelite tribes, who had great faith. Sometime after Jesus was betrayed,  arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven, less than 3 1/2 years after he was baptized, the divinely inspired writer of the Epistle of Jude in the Holy Bible wrote about the most holy faith of people sanctified by the Lord God in heaven and kept by his Son Jesus the Christ.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, Jude
