In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

48. There are nine Fruits of the Spirit. 1) Love 6) Goodness 2) Joy 7) Faith 3) Peace 8) Meekness 4) Longsuffering 9) Temperance 5) Gentleness Holy Ghost Baptism
49. L O V E Love is caring and seeking for the highest good of another person without motive for personal gain. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails”: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 1 John 4:7-16.
50. J O Y Joy is the feeling of gladness based on the love, grace, blessings, promises and nearness of God that belongs to those who believe in Christ. "The joy of the Lord is your strength”: Nehemiah 8:10. "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”: Hebrews 12:2.
51. P E A C E Peace is the quietness of heart and mind based on the knowledge that all is well between the believer and his or her heavenly Father. "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ“: Romans 5:1. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit“: Romans 15:13.
52. LONGSUFFERING (Patience) Longsuffering (patience) is endurance, patience, being slow to anger or despair. We are "strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness”: Colossians 1:11. "With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love”: Ephesians 4:2.
53. GENTLENESS (Kindness) Gentleness is not wanting to hurt someone or give him or her pain. We should live "in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left”: 2 Corinthians 6:6-7.
54. GOODNESS Goodness is zeal for truth and righteousness and a hatred for evil; it can be expressed in acts of kindness or in rebuking and correcting evil. "Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power”: 1 Thessalonians 1:11. "For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth”: Ephesians 5:9, Psalm107.
55. FAITH (Faithfulness) Faith (faithfulness) is faithfulness, firm and unswerving loyalty and adherence to a person to whom one is united by promise, commitment, trustworthiness, and honesty. "O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth“: Isaiah 25:1. "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith“: Ephesians 3:16-17.
56. MEEKNESS (Gentleness) Meekness (gentleness) is restraint coupled with strength and courage; it describes a person who can be angry when anger is needed and humbly submissive when submission is needed. "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted”: Galatians 6:1. "With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love”: Ephesians 4:2.
57. TEMPERANCE (Self-Control) Temperance (self-control) is having control or mastery over one's own desires and passion, including faithfulness to one's marriage vows; also purity and chastity "But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love”: 2 Peter 1:5-7).
66. B) POWER WORKING GIFTS The gifts under this category do or accomplish something. These gifts are of special importance to the body of Christ in the preaching of the gospel. They are the means by which God advertises the gospel of Jesus Christ. The power gifts will gain increasing prominence in these last days and as the church approaches the coming of the Lord.
88. How should we handle the Word of God? To increase in the Word of God, there must be a hunger & a thirst after it , after which it must be meditated upon like our daily food (Jn 6:51). Meditation simply means thinking over, ruminating, engage in thought, cogitate, to ponder or to study. Joshua 1:8 commands us to meditate on the Word of God day & night. A true believer cannot live outside the Word of God because It is the power of God unto salvation unto those who believe, hence it must not depart from our mouth (Psalm: 1). The word of God tells us, "Like new born babes we should desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:2). In order to grow, we need to study the Word , obey it , {James 1:22-23), speak it , (Mark 11:23), act on it , (James 2:17-22), believe it (James 2:23, Hebrews 10:36-37). On a daily basis the Bible tells us to examine ourselves whether we are still in faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Hence we overcome the accuser (Old serpent, devil, satan, ancient dragon), by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony, also to overcome in spiritual warfare we need all the whole armor of God, of which the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit.
89. Conclusion We will conclude by taking a look at a few important characteristics of God’s Word: 1 It is a Spiritual Guide Psalm 119:105, 130, 131 2 It brings wisdom and revelation - 2 Timothy 3:15 3 It keeps us from sinning - Psalm 119:11, 133 4 It creates - Genesis 1: 1-; Rom 4:17 5 It brings Salvation - 1 Corinthians 1:21 6 It brings Healing and Deliverance - Luke 7:7; Ps 107:20 7 Never returns unaccomplished. - Is 55:11; Heb 4:12; Matt 5:18 8 It brings Joy - Acts 8: 5-8 9 Brings correction and reproof. - 2 Timothy 3:16 10 Brings comfort and good news - Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:15 11 It does not lie - Heb 6:16-19, Numbers 23:19 12 It is cleanses us - John 15:3
126. Second Coming Events in the world today are showing more than ever the imminence of the coming of our King and our Lord. He is coming again and we shall soon hear the sound of the trumpet. However, it is worthy of note that His coming shall be in two phases. In this study, we shall learn about these and the various events, which shall occur under them.
