We can multiply mercy, peace, and love by being sanctified by Heavenly Father and preserved by Christ. Contending for the faith can be done as we work to keep ourselves sanctified and holy. The 'first estate' that is referred to in Jude 1:6 is choosing Christ's plan and coming to earth. In keeping our first estate, we were given a body and sent to earth.
Enoch will come with Christ at the second coming according to Jude 1:14. We're also given a whole list of characteristics that will help us avoid false teachers. Some of these characteristics are:
- Remember the words the apostles have spoken about Christ
- Build up your faith
- Pray for the Holy Ghost
- Keep yourselves in the love of God
- Look for the mercy of Christ to get eternal life
- Have compassion
If we follow these characteristics, we're able to avoid false teachers.
