Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties. But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

This devotion taken from Book of Jude will equip you with biblical truths and guide you to practice them daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.
Despite its brevity, the letter must have been held in high regard due to Jude’s familial relationship with Jesus. The letter reminds Christ’s followers to beware of false teachers and ungodly people who have crept into church communities. Jude speaks of their due punishment and encourages believers always to stand firm in the truth and love of Jesus, who can present us blamelessly on judgment day.
Written by the half-brother of Jesus, Jude is a strong rebuke against false teachers and their influence in the church. The letter encourages believers to stand firm in their faith and persevere against those who seek to divide the church and distract from the gospel. Just like in the Old Testament (Jude 5-16), false teaching in the church is a deadly disease that requires constant vigilance from God’s people.
Many Christians disagree on some points of doctrine but agree on the Person and work of Jesus Christ. Those who teach that His work is no longer relevant or effective are false teachers. This plan studies the first half of the second chapter of Peter’s second epistle, where he warns the Church against false teachers by showing us their characteristics, consequences, and conduct.
