Jude 1:5 KJV
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though
ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land
of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jude saw even in His day
certain men creeping in and destroying (or attempting to destroy) the ministry
of God. His conclusion was that we must contend for the faith and he did so:
By reminding them of the
judgment of God
Jude lists those who had
experienced that judgment in the past.
By reminding them of the
warning of God
That there would be those
false prophets and mockers of what is godly that should come.
By urging them to be built
up in the faith
This one thing is so
necessary and yet so lacking in the Christian world today. We have heard the
warning yet, just like Peter, we are asleep when we should be praying. We are
careless about spiritual things when we should be the most concerned about
those things.
He appealed to the Lord
Who is the One who is able
to keep us from falling.
To Him alone we look.
