Introduction to the Epistle of Jude Near the end of the New Testament, just before
the book of Revelation, is the book of Jude.
It is a brief but pointed letter.
Jude was likely the half-brother of Jesus, and the brother of the author of the book
of James.
Jude wrote to defend the faith against false teachers in the churches.
Apparently, these false teachers were trying to convince believers that being
saved by grace gave them license to sin, alleging that their sins would no longer
be held against them.
Jude urged believers to contend for the faith that had been entrusted to them.
As you listen to Jude, determine to stand firm in your faith, based on what has been
carefully handed down to us in the Word of God.
