Jude 5-10

In the opening verses of this book, we learn that Jude has to change course regarding the intent of his letter, in order to address a significant issue in the church. “Certain people have crept in unnoticed” (Jude 4). They pervert God’s grace and deny Jesus as Lord. These people are such a threat to the Body of Christ that Jude spends most of the letter painting a picture of who they are so that we may be able to spot them and also avoid becoming them ourselves.
