Tasker speaks on the theme of perseverance from the Epistle of Jude. In verse 1, Jude highlights three assurances believers have in Christ: they are called, loved, and kept. The New Testament frequently emphasizes this divine calling (Romans 1:7; 8:28; 1 Corinthians 1; Hebrews 3), and the Old Testament reflects it in figures such as Abraham. God also works through believers to call others to the gospel. These truths assure Christians of God’s love and His intention not to lose any who belong to Him. Jude then explains the purpose of his letter: to encourage and support believers out of pastoral concern in the face of false teachers. Genuine ministry requires this concern and care, and Jude urges his readers to hold firmly to the body of Christian truth that has been handed down. Believers must remain committed to this truth and pass it on to the next generation. The church was being threatened by individuals who had infiltrated the community with lies, deceit, and immorality, which are key weapons of the Evil One. Jude underscores the seriousness of this danger, warning believers to be discerning. Instead of being swayed, Christians are called to build themselves up in faith, pursuing growth and maturity within the fellowship of the community.
