Jude 1

Jude writes to those who are sanctified, preserved in Jesus Christ, and called, urging them to contend earnestly for the faith because ungodly men have crept in and turned grace into lasciviousness. He uses Israel in the wilderness, fallen angels, Sodom, Cain, Balaam, and Korah as warning examples, exposes false teachers’ corruption, and closes by urging believers to build themselves up while trusting the God who is able to keep them from falling.
