• The reader will notice the four things which we are exhorted to do; namely, "building"—"praying"—"keep" [ing]—"looking." What blessed work is here! Yes, and it is work for all. There is not one true Christian on the face of the earth who cannot fulfill any or all of these branches of ministry; indeed, everyone is responsible to do so. (“The Closing Scenes of Malachi and Jude” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• How can I build myself up? By constantly having my heart exercised upon the object of faith, seeking to have the ignorance of my mind removed, meditating on the word, getting the heart nourished by all that feeds our faith; not satisfied, but as the faith is nourished. (“The Corruption of Christianity” by G.V. Wigram)
• "praying in the Holy Ghost" is understanding what is for God's glory, and expressing it before Him. (“The Corruption of Christianity” by G.V. Wigram)
• " praying in the Holy Ghost " is understanding what is for God's glory, and expressing it before Him. It is the range of the thought of God's Spirit. (“The Corruption of Christianity” by G.V. Wigram)
• "Praying in the Holy Ghost" assumes the normal position of the believer to be that of having the Spirit, in contrast with those who are characterized as "natural men having not the Spirit." But it is not the doctrine of the Holy Spirit here, but rather the recognition of the known and blessed privilege of those who are born of God, that they are "born of the Spirit, led by the Spirit," and have the indwelling of the Spirit, as the blessed link of their communion with God. (“The Epistle of Jude”)
• That which characterizes the faith amidst all the evil is that it is a "most holy faith." "Praying in the Holy Ghost." The great difference between those who were really saints and those who had crept in was having the Spirit (“Jude” by J.N. Darby)
• The saints are exhorted themselves directly. They are not to give up their privileges, or to imagine, that because it is a day of such abounding evil, they are not to be very happy. They are comforted with this; that the blessing is perfectly open to them, and they are called to more faith than ever. There is no time when faith shines brighter than in the dark day, and there is no time when love is more evidently discerned than when there are not many to love, not many that do love (“Lectures on Jude 20-21” by W. Kelly)
• Here it is called "most holy." What! has it not got tainted? Has it not got lowered now? Woe be to those that do! "The faith" is just the same faith now as on the day of Pentecost (“Lectures on Jude 20-21” by W. Kelly)
• where there is prayer in the Holy Spirit it is all thoroughly acceptable to God, every word is so. Every word of such prayer expresses perfectly what God means at that time. (“Lectures on Jude 20-21” by W. Kelly)
• He cultivates communion with God and profits through grace by the revelations of His love. The Christian has his own proper sphere of thought, in which he hides himself from the evil that surrounds him and grows in the knowledge of God from whom nothing can separate him. (“JUDE” by J.N. Darby)
• The faith is, to the believer, a most holy faith; he loves it, because it is so; it puts him into relationship and communion with God Himself. (“JUDE” by J.N. Darby)
• The faith, "your most holy faith," as in verse 3, is the thing believed, in a word, the truth, (article #86573)
• they should be resting on the truth, the great truths of Christianity, as the source of strength for their own souls, being edified by it, filled with the thoughts of God, revealed by His Word (article #86573)
• Here, however, praying will rather mean the maintenance in the soul by the Holy Ghost of the constant sense of entire dependence upon God, for that is both the secret of safety and strength. (Compare Psa. 16:1) (article #86573)
