- Description
- Jude omits mention of his family connection to Jesus, instead identifying himself as Christ’s servant. His message is positive: the gospel and those who remain faithful to it will ultimately triumph. He reminds believers that they are called, loved, and kept by God. Yet Jude also warns of false teachers who had slipped unnoticed into the community, distorting the gospel into a license for immorality. He stresses the link between false teaching and false living, urging his readers to contend for the faith once delivered, which includes both doctrine and conduct. To tolerate immorality is to deny the faith itself. Jude illustrates this with examples of divine judgment: Israel, rescued in the Exodus yet later condemned for unbelief; rebellious angels from Jewish tradition, already held for final judgment; and Sodom and Gomorrah, destroyed for their sin. These examples trace a progression: death, darkness, and eternal fire, serving as warnings for the present situation with false teachers. Lee explores these opening examples in detail, showing how they underline Jude’s call to vigilance and perseverance.
