The Bible Story Behind Jude, Old Mysteries
Jude intended to write concerning the common salvation shared by believers, but false teachers had entered among the saints and made a stronger warning necessary. They twisted the grace of God into permission for sin and denied the authority of Jesus Christ. Jude therefore urged the church to defend the faith already delivered through Christ and His apostles.
To expose these teachers, Jude drew from ancient judgments familiar to readers of Israel's Scriptures. He referred to unbelieving Israelites in the wilderness, rebellious angels, Sodom and Gomorrah, Cain, Balaam, and Korah. Jude, Old Mysteries therefore presents an apostolic writer using earlier biblical events to reveal the character and final end of corruption within the church.
Jude 1:25 says: "To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
Jude ended his severe warning with worship rather than fear. The preceding words declare that God can keep believers from falling and present them faultless before His glory with exceeding joy. False teachers may trouble the church, but the wisdom, authority, and preserving power of God remain greater than every deception raised against it.
The faith Jude defended centers upon Jesus Christ and His completed Gospel. Christ bore our sins upon the cross, was buried, and rose again so that salvation could be received freely by grace through faith. Grace never excuses rebellion against the Saviour; it delivers believers from condemnation and teaches them to live as those who belong to Him.
Jude also directs believers to pray in the Holy Ghost, expect the Lord's mercy, and show compassion to people caught in error. The truth entrusted to the church is lived among others as well as defended in words. Because Christ supplies both our standing and our strength, we can resist corrupt teaching while extending mercy to those who need to be brought back to the Gospel.
