Jude 1:4 CSB

For some people, who were designated for this judgment long ago, , have come in by stealth; they are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into sensuality and denying Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.

Jude 1:10-12 CSB

NIV KJV ESV NLT NKJV

But these people blaspheme anything they do not understand. And what they do understand by instinct — like irrational animals — by these things they are destroyed. Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, have plunged into Balaam’s error for profit, and have perished in Korah’s rebellion. These people are dangerous reefs at your love feasts as they eat with you without reverence. They are shepherds who only look after themselves. They are waterless clouds carried along by winds; trees in late autumn — fruitless, twice dead and uprooted.

Thru the Bible—Jude

3 Days

Jude wastes no time. This brief, powerful letter exposes false teachers—many of whom were subtle and believable. They told half-truths about the gospel, which made the lies hard to pick out. Nevertheless, partially true is completely false; almost-gospel is not gospel. Jude calls the church to recognize the false teaching in their midst for what it was. Trusted teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee helps us apply Jude’s warnings today.

Despite its brevity, the letter must have been held in high regard due to Jude’s familial relationship with Jesus. The letter reminds Christ’s followers to beware of false teachers and ungodly people who have crept into church communities. Jude speaks of their due punishment and encourages believers always to stand firm in the truth and love of Jesus, who can present us blamelessly on judgment day.

Perseverance: A Study in Jude

Written by the half-brother of Jesus, Jude is a strong rebuke against false teachers and their influence in the church. The letter encourages believers to stand firm in their faith and persevere against those who seek to divide the church and distract from the gospel. Just like in the Old Testament (Jude 5-16), false teaching in the church is a deadly disease that requires constant vigilance from God’s people.
