Spurgeon once warned, “Error oft rides to its deadly work on the back of truth.”  As you read the book of Jude you’ll see how this happens within a church and how it’s to be handled. 

Jude 4 warns that godless men can secretly infiltrate a church and try to, “change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.”  He describes their ultimate doom by using various illustrations from the Old Testament where judgment fell on the ungodly, and reminds them, the apostles warned that this would happen. 

There is always the danger of Christians being led astray from the faith life they entered.  So he tells them, “Dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.  Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.” 

Once established in the faith they’re to “contend for the faith” and reach out to those outside the faith, snatching them from judgment and saving them.  As they engage in this rescuing effort they are to watch that they don’t get enticed into compromising their own lives. 

He concludes with this wonderful benediction: “To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy – to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”
