Jude 20 KJV [20] “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,”      Here, we have a wonderful admonishment for the beloved. Jude is encouraging the brethren to build themselves up. Now, he is not talking about building up our ego or self-image but our most holy faith by praying in the Holy Ghost.

We must remember that God is keeping a record of what we say, and one day we will give an account of those words. Another thought to remember is that a spiritual man or woman is …
