El sermón "Edificándonos en la Fe 1" del predicador Joel Coyoc, se centra en la exhortación a los creyentes de la epístola de Judas, específicamente en los versículos 20-23, que instan a los cristianos a contender ardientemente por la fe y a edificarse en su relación con Dios. Entre los puntos clave, Coyoc destaca la importancia de la oración continua y el llamado a conservarse en el amor de Dios como medios fundamentales para el crecimiento espiritual y la perseverancia en la fe. Se hace referencia a pasajes bíblicos como Efesios 2:8-9 para subrayar que la fe es un don de Dios y a 1 Pedro 2:2 sobre el deseo de la Palabra de Dios, enlazando estos textos con el deber de los creyentes de edificar su fe a través de la oración constante. La relevancia práctica de este mensaje radica en la necesidad de depender de Dios en medio de un mundo maligno, recordando que la vida cristiana exige una búsqueda activa del Señor en todos los aspectos.

The Bible instructs believers to build themselves up in their most holy faith through prayer and dependence on God.
In Jude 20-23, believers are urged to build themselves up in their most holy faith, emphasizing prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit. This process of edification is crucial for Christians as it fortifies them against spiritual attacks and encourages growth in grace.

Prayer is essential for Christians as it reflects our dependence on God and is vital for spiritual life.
Prayer is described in the sermon as the spiritual act equivalent to breathing for physical life, demonstrating our ongoing need for communion with God. The Apostle Paul has shown the importance of prayer in various contexts, emphasizing that believers should pray continually. It is through prayer that we express dependence on God for guidance, strength, and the ability to endure spiritual challenges. The necessity of prayer underscores our reliance on God’s grace rather than our own sufficiency, affirming that we can do nothing apart from Him.

Contending for the faith is important as it safeguards against false teachings and strengthens believers in truth.
The exhortation to contend earnestly for the faith, as seen in Jude 3, is crucial for Christians. The passage highlights the danger posed by ungodly individuals who have secretly infiltrated the church and distort the grace of God. This spiritual battle requires vigilance and intentionality among believers to uphold the core tenets of faith. By contending for the faith, Christians not only protect themselves and the community but also glorify God by holding fast to the truth of the Gospel that was once delivered to the saints.
Jude 3, Ephesians 4:14
God guards believers through His power, preserving them in Christ until the final day.
In Jude 1:24, we find that God is the one who keeps believers from falling and presents them without blame before His presence. This divine safeguarding emphasizes the sovereignty of God in the life of a believer. It reassures us that our perseverance is not solely based on our own efforts, but on God’s powerful protection. The assurance provided by Scripture regarding our preservation in Christ demonstrates the grace of God and invites Christians to rest in His ability to keep them secure in their faith and lead them to eternal life.
Jude 1:24, 1 Peter 1:5
Praying in the Spirit refers to being guided by the Holy Spirit in our prayers, maintaining alignment with God's will.
The concept of praying in the Spirit, discussed in Jude 20, indicates a state of dependence on the Holy Spirit during prayer. This practice is characterized by being fully attuned to God’s purposes and allowing the Spirit to guide our requests and worship. It moves beyond mere ritual and engages the believer’s heart and mind in a way that aligns with the desires of God. This form of prayer deepens our connection with God and enhances our faith, positioning us to receive His will and grace more profoundly.
Jude 20, Romans 8:26-27
