The Epistle of Jude Barry a Allen

The Epistle of Jude is a powerful text which reminds Christians that there will always be false teachers around who do not teach the true Gospel. These false teachers show up in a variety of settings and even in the church. Jude encourages Christians to consistently build up their faith through the study of Scripture, consistent prayer, regular worship and radical obedience to the Great Commandments of Jesus. As we stay close to God through Scripture, prayer, worship and loving God and all others, we grow in sanctifying grace and become holier and stronger disciples of Jesus. Being built up in righteousness, Jude assures us that we will recognize false teachers very easily, and we will not be led astray by their teachings. As the true Gospel is reflected in our lives and ministries, our light shines in this world and the lost are drawn to Christ as they look and see that his kingdom is coming in our hearts, lives, and ministries. In this, God is glorified, and the lost are found. And, false teachers who promote selfish and sinful versions of Christian doctrines are exposed and defeated.
