Jude urges believers to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints, warning that false teachers have infiltrated the church, twisting grace into license for sin and denying Christ. Drawing on examples from Israel’s history—rebellious angels, Sodom and Gomorrah, Cain, Balaam, and Korah—he reminds them that God’s judgment on the ungodly is certain. Believers, by contrast, must remain steadfast, praying in the Spirit and keeping themselves in God’s love.

Jude’s letter joins fierce warning with deep assurance. The faith is complete and unchanging; to distort it is to invite destruction. Yet even in judgment, God shows mercy, preserving His own until Christ returns. Perseverance is both command and comfort: believers keep themselves in God’s love because God first keeps them.

21: Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
