Wounded and Sick: Things That Cripple Your Faith

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life." (Jude 1:20-21)

It is important to keep our faith strong and healthy. As we care for our physical bodies by providing for its needs and protecting it from injury or sickness, we should also care for and protect our spirit and faith. We must provide for our spiritual needs and build up our spiritual bodies so they will be strong enough to fight off anything that will try to penetrate them. Sometimes in order to be able to stop a physical sickness, we need to know the cause, or where it came from, first. These spiritual "illnesses" work the same way: in order to understand them and, when needed, cure ourselves of them, we need to know what they are and what causes them.
