A live body is not only one which never gets old, but one that can to some extent repair itself. In the same way, a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble - because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat the kind of voulentary death Christ Himself carried out. ↗

— C. S. Lewis

Jude has a very different character. It is not the cradle of Christianity, or of the assembly on earth: it is its decay and its death here below. It does not keep its first estate. ↗

In my experience, self-hatred is the dominant malaise crippling Christians and stifling their growth in the Holy Spirit. ↗
