Jude 1:2 NKJV

Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

Jude 1:2 NKJV

It is so amazing to hear the perspective that the apostle Jude brought to highlight in his greetings as one who HAS been CALLED, SANCTIFIED, and RESERVED in Christ Jesus.

Jude said that mercy, peace, and love be multiplied in our lives. In order to multiply something, we have to have the materials and resources to multiply.

That means we can only multiply what we already have. If we don't first acknowledge what we have, there is no way we can multiply it.

It is not just an assurance that gives us hope but Christ has made us to be completed in Him who is all in all.

Walking away from this truth or being ignorant of what WE HAVE in Christ will only make us unproductive because we cannot multiply what we don't have.

Peter and John multiplied the grace of God through healing the people and casting out the devils, because they gave out what they had received.

The religious spirit will stop us from multiplying because the religious spirit robs us of living in the power of Christ. It will draw people to an observation mode and not to a production mode.

Don't get caught trying to prove something. People who don't have, will live trying to prove something, but those who know what they have received will just live out the life of Jesus Christ and start multiplying.

The apostle Jude had the Old Testament to read to see examples as one who had received. But we have the old and the new to show what we have already got in Christ Jesus.

Let us be convinced of our blessed assurance in our inheritance as children of God, and start multiplying everything Christ has given.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
