According to verse 3, Jude was anxious to write about our salvation; however, he changed topics to address contending for the faith. This faith embodies the complete body of Christian doctrine taught by Christ, later passed on to the apostles. After Jude warns of false teachers (verses 4 – 16), he advises us on how we can succeed in spiritual warfare (verses 20 – 21). Here is wisdom we would do well to accept and adhere to as we go through these days of the end times.

The Book of Jude is an important book for us today because it is written for the end times, for the end of the church age. The church age began at the Day of Pentecost. Jude is the only book given entirely to the great apostasy. Jude writes that evil works are the evidence of apostasy. He admonishes us to contend for the faith, for there are tares among the wheat. False prophets are in the church and the saints are in danger. Jude is a small but important book worthy of study, written for the Christian of today.

Chapters - Kapitulo

The Book of Jude is filled with references to the Old Testament, including the Exodus (v. 5); Satan’s rebellion (v. 6); Sodom and Gomorrah (v. 7); Moses’ death (v. 9); Cain (v. 11); Balaam (v. 11); Korah (v. 11); Enoch (vv. 14 – 15); and Adam (v. 14). Jude’s use of the well-known historical illustrations of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19), Cain (Genesis 4), Balaam (Numbers 22 – 24), and Korah (Numbers 16) reminded the Jewish Christians of the necessity of true faith and obedience.
