Judas 1:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jude 1:2

Mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied.
] In this salutation the apostle wishes for a multiplication of "mercy", from God the Father, by whom these persons were sanctified: mercy is a perfection in God; and shows itself in a special manner towards the elect, in the covenant of grace, in the provision of Christ as a Saviour, in the mission of him into this world, in redemption by him, in the forgiveness of sin, in regeneration, and in their whole salvation; and the multiplication of it intends an enlarged view and fresh application of it, which they sometimes stand in need of, as under desertions, when they want the sense and manifestation of it to them; and under temptations and afflictions, when they need sympathy and compassion; and when they fall into sin they stand in need of the fresh discoveries and application of pardoning mercy to them. Moreover, herein is wished for a multiplication of "peace" from Christ, in whom these chosen ones were preserved; and may design a fresh and enlarged view of peace being made for them by his blood, and an increase of conscience peace in their own hearts, as the effect of it; and may include peace, and an abundance of it, among themselves, as well as all prosperity, both external, internal, and eternal: likewise in the salutation, "love", and a multiplication of it is wished for from the Spirit of God, by whom they were called; and may be understood of the love with which God loved them; and which may be said to be multiplied, when it is gradually shed abroad in their hearts by the Spirit, and they are by degrees led into it more and more, and the acts of it are drawn out and set before them one after another, and fresh manifestations of it are made unto them; as in afflictive providences, after the hidings of God's face, and under temptations: and it may design the love with which they love God, which may be increased and made to abound more and more.

Judas 1:2 In-Context

2 Misericordia, paz, y caridad os sean multiplicadas

3 Amados, por la gran solicitud que tenía de escribiros acerca de la común salud, me ha sido necesario escribiros amonestándoos que os esforcéis a perseverar en la fe, que ha sido una vez dada a los santos

4 Porque algunos hombres han entrado encubiertamente sin temor ni reverencia de Dios; los cuales desde antes habían estado ordenados para esta condenación, convirtiendo la gracia de nuestro Dios en disolución, y negando a Dios que solo es el que tiene dominio, y a nuestro Señor, Jesús el Cristo

5 Os quiero pues amonestar, ya que alguna vez habéis sabido esto, que el Señor habiendo salvado al pueblo sacándolo de Egipto, después destruyó a los que no creían
