Under Gods Command
The duty to fight for God’s truth

Jude 2:22-23 Be merciful to those who doubt, snatch others from the fire and save them, to others show mercy, mixed with fear-hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Bring people to Jesus saves them from God’s judgment. We can do this through compassion and kindness. To hate “even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh” means that we are to hate the sin, but we must witness to and love the sinner. Unbelievers, no matter how successful they seem by worldly standards, are lost and in need of salvation. We should not take witnessing lightly-it is a matter of life and death.

In trying to find common ground with those to whom we witness, we must be careful not to fall into the quicksand of compromise. When reaching out to others, we must be sure that our own footing is safe and secure. Be careful not to become so much like non-Christians that no one can tell who you are or what you believe. Influence them for Christ-don’t allow them to influence you to sin!
