The book of Jude was the last epistle accepted into the Canon.
Jude was the half brother of Jesus, but he calls himself merely "a servant of Christ". He became a follower of Jesus Christ after the resurrection. (Other brothers and sisters of Jesus never believed.) Jude began to see a drift in the early church away from sound doctrine-Jude 1:4. He wrote the book of Jude in response to believers who were floundering. Jude is written to believers-Jude 1:1 The beginning of Jude explains three key concepts of Christianity: 1. Believers are sanctified by God. Permanent position, prepared, set apart by God the Father, in a unique way, in contrast to the world believers in Christ are different John 15 "in the world but not of the world" John 17:17 sanctification process Ephesians 5:26 being in the word of God, truth 2 Timothy 2:21 preparation for the work of God by studying the word of God 1 Peter 1:2 believers are becoming a a different person, new in Christ 2. Believers are preserved in Jesus Christ. Sealed, in Christ Jesus, saved, eternally kept, process of eternal life, kept for the purposes of God, eternity 2 Peter 1:4 promises of God are forever John 1:1 word of God is eternal 2 Timothy 4:18 preserving to heaven, a time yet to come John 10:28, 29, 30 given eternal life, new , kept in Jesus Christ, Jesus is unable to be separated from God, "they are one" 2 Corinthians 5:17 new, in Christ, also in God Ephesians 2:6, 7 heavenly places in Christ Jesus, unified in Christ, ages to come Colossians 1:28 perfect in Christ Jesus *did you know there are 365 different denominations of Christianity - one day they will all be together in heaven through Jesus Christ, no divisions, all that will matter is Christ... 3. Believers are called by the Holy Spirit. Performance, "NO ONE IS CALLED TO DO NOTHING, EVERYONE IS CALLED TO DO SOMETHING!" John 15:16 called, chosen Ephesians 4:1 purpose in God, called to do something 1 Thessalonians 2:12 worthy of God, worthy of your calling 2 Timoty 1:8-12 holy calling, God's purpose for us, appointed, serving God Jude 1:1-25
We are just beginning the study of this book in the bible. Jude is a severe warning of -who we are -who we aught to be -who we should believe Jude was a servant of Jesus. He was the brother of James (not Judas of Oscariot). Jude, Judas, Judiah were very popular Roman names in the time of the Roman empire. Jude was the half brother of Jesus. He initially did not believe Jesus was the son of God whose's mission was to come to earth to save everyone from sin. He became a believer and a leader in the early Christian church. Acts 1:13, Mathew 13:44 Jude served with Peter and Paul. He was very concerned about false prophets and apostosee in the church.
