Jude | A Bird’s Eye View: The Epistles

---

"I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. And from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them... Therefore be alert." (Acts 20:29–31)

"The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.”

"Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.”

Jude puts it this way:

"Contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints." (Jude 3)
