Jude 1

Jude, the brother of James, writes to believers, urging them to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. He warns them about godless intruders who twist the grace of God into a license for immorality. Jude cites examples of God's severe judgment (unfaithful Israelites, fallen angels, Sodom and Gomorrah) to prove that the wicked will be punished. He instructs believers to keep themselves in God's love and show mercy to those who doubt.
