What is JURA?
Jura is the imperative form of a Korean verb, ‘juda,’ meaning ‘to give.’ God called Abraham to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2). Being a blessing means living a philanthropic life. No matter how much one has or does not have, he becomes a blessing when he gives. By faith we are Abraham’s progeny; therefore, we must be a blessing as well, and can we be by giving. So, give. That’s what Jura means.
