The book of Jude is one of the most neglected books in the New Testament. Many (if not most) pastors have never preached through it, and many (if not most) Christians have never even read it from start to finish. Despite the fact that the Jude is commonly neglected (whether intentional or not), it remains one of the most practically applicable books in all of the Bible – especially in light of the status of the contemporary church (“church” meaning those who profess to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ). When one understands the nature of the book of Jude, one can easily understand why Satan must rejoice at the church’s common ignorance of it’s content – the book of Jude stands as one of the most blunt and straight-forward confrontations of false teaching in all of the New Testament. Because the contemporary church is facing a wide variety of false teaching of its own, this book is just as relevant to modern readers as it was to the original first century readers. In this first installment, we will look primarily at verses 1-2.
