Jude 1:3
“Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.”
My heart aches as I think of the vast numbers of people who have been deceived into thinking that they have eternal salvation because they were “christened” or “baptized” as infants. A rudimentary study of the Word of God reveals that this is far from the truth.
Jesus Himself informed the spiritual leader Nicodemus that a new birth was necessary. The words of John 3:16 should be enough to counteract the false teaching of salvation through infant baptism: “…that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Paul echoes this requirement in Romans 10:9: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Where does this truth leave the sincere seeker of truth? It leads us to trust in the truth of God’s Word rather than in the deception of false teachers. There is only one way to obtain eternal salvation and that is in confessing that we are sinners in need of salvation and trusting in the shed blood of our precious Savior to make us His own. The repentant thief dying on the cross beside Jesus received eternal life even as his earthly life was drawing to a close. DO NOT BE DECEIVED!

Jude 1:17
“But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
How do you remember things? The answers vary, but they include thinking about them, writing them down, and repeating to yourself those things you do not want to forget, and entering them on a device that will notify you in advance so you will not forget.
About fifty years ago I spent a considerable amount of time faithfully memorizing the book of James. There came a day when I was able to recite the entire five chapters. For several months I would repeat the words that had become a part of my memory bank.
Sad to say, I began to allow other pursuits to occupy my time. They were good things and many of them were involved in ministry, but they disrupted my dedication to the memory work to which I had devoted myself. Today I can only recite very brief portions of the book of James.
There is a phrase in a popular song from the 1940’s —“But you forgot to remember.” On this day when we pause to honor the memory of those who gave so much for us, it should be a time of rededication for each of us. Let us step forward and determine that we will not forget to remember!
