the ministry of Jesus his half brothers did not believe in him but all that was changed by the death and resurrection of Christ. The name Jude is the English form of the name for Judah which means praise. Jude was writing when false teachers were attacking the church. New believers
were being destroyed with their heresies. They were teaching that the world was evil and only the spirit was good; therefore what you did in the body had nothing to do with your spirit. So then you could sin
all you want to in the body and the spirit was not affected. They taught that Jesus was not God in human flesh. They taught Jesus was not flesh but only Spirit. Therefore believers were like Jesus. So
people took from that they could sin all they wanted to and it would not affect them spiritually. This teaching is called Gnosticism. The Gnostics considered themselves on a higher plane than the average believer.
So Jude graphically describes the false teachers. He gives a stern warning to be on the look out for false teachers and false teaching. He begins by saying as believers we should be willing to fight for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
Then Jude concludes his little letter with one of the most amazing doxologies in scripture and underscores one of the most pre ...
