The book of Jude may be short in length, but it begins and builds like a bold shout of strength—From a warning about false teachers and apostasy to contending for the faith with a sense of urgency. Jude’s letter seeks to heighten the awareness of believers by drawing upon past biblical imagery as a way to frame their present reality. This admonishment is more than necessary for today, as dividers, dissenters, and deceivers have infiltrated the church and contaminated the truth.

Thus, as Jude alludes, one can mark the error of a rebel when they know the truth of the Bible. And that is why the heart of this letter is not just about recognizing the red flags of what is apostate, but it’s also an exhortation to contend earnestly to raise the flag of faith.

So as we take a serious look into the book of Jude, let us know that these times of aggression against the truth require the same intensity from believers to protect the truth.
