2 | "Preserved in Jesus Christ, and called." | Jude 1:1 | Makarios | 7649 | ||
'Preserved' (Jude 1:1) Oxford Annotated RSV.. "God has 'called' the Christians, shown them His love, and keeps them for the coming of Jesus Christ." Zondervan's NASB Study Bible.. "'kept for Jesus Christ.' He who holds the whole universe together (see Col. 1:17; Heb. 1:3) will see that God's children are kept in the faith and that they reach their eternal inheritance (see John 6:37-40; 17:11-12; 1 Peter 1:3-5)." Ryrie's Study Bible says, "Jude addresses the called; i.e., all Christians who have been called to a knowledge of God through Christ. They are beloved in God and kept for Jesus Christ at His second coming." Nelson's NKJV Study Bible states, "'called': This is the primary description of Jude's readers: They had been chosen by God to represent Him in this world." MacArthur's NKJV Study Bible comments, "'called.' As always in the epistles, this refers not to a general invitation to salvation, but to God's irresistible, elective call to salvation (cf. Rom. 1:7; 1 Cor. 1:23,24; 1 Thess. 5:24; 2 Thess. 2:13,14). This call yields: 1) fellowship with Christ (1 Cor. 1:9); 2) peace (1 Cor. 7:15); 3) freedom (Gal. 5:13); 4) a worthy walk (Eph. 4:1); 5) hope (Eph. 4:4); 6) holiness (1 Peter 1:15); 7)blessing (1 Peter 3:9); and 8) eternal glory (1 Peter 5:10). Cf. "grace of our God" (v.4)." ... "'preserved'. See note on v. 24. God not only initiates salvation but He also completes it through Christ, thus preserving or keeping the believer secure for eternal life (cf. John 6:37-44; 10:28-30; 17:11,15; Rom. 8:31-39; 2 Tim. 4:18; Heb. 7:25; 9:24; 1 Peter 1:3-5)." ... Note on verse 24.. "The power of Christ would sustain the sincere believer from falling to the temptation of apostacy (cf. Job 42:2; Psalm 37:23,24; 121:3; Jer. 32:17; Matt. 19:26; Luke 1:37; John 6:39,40,44; 10:27-30; Eph. 3:20)." |
