The book of Jude is one of the shortest books from the Bible. If you have read or gone thru upon it, you can see that Jude is foretelling alot of warnings. Infact someone had summarized it in 4 words: "Warning against the heretics".
--------------------------------------------
1. Jude is warning us against the rising of different cults, false teachers and religions. V.3-4
2. Reminding of people who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority and blaspheming the glorious one. v.7-8
3. Execute judgment on all and convict all the ungoldy of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungoldy way, and of all the harsh things that ungoldy sinners have spoken against God. v.15
4. As for Christians, we must remember the predictins of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungoldy passions." v.18 It is these who cause divisions, worldy people, devoid of the spirit. But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. v.20-21
5. We should share and spread the gospel to the people so that they may not be condemned in the eternal fire, have mercy on those who doubt; show mercy with fear and hating the desire of the sinful nature or the flesh. v.22-23
These warnings that Jude told us are not ordinary warnings. Some of them are happening right now. So we should always equipped ourselves with our Lord Jesus Christ and be renewed in our mind, thoughts and actions. So that we may be no blemish when we meet Him face to face soon.
