A Reminder from Jude

We have been working our way through the book of Jude on Wednesday nights lately. Last night we looked at verse five in light of the preceding verses. The message thus far is:

Contend for the Faith, because God is Holy.

Brother Jude is exhorting the fellowship to stand for the truth, refusing to give ground to those who would pervert the truth. The ultimate issue is God is holy and He is serious about His holiness. When we wink at sin, whether it is in our own life or in the lives of others in the church, it is ultimately because we do not believe what God has said.
