—Jude 1-13
by: Margaret Taylor.
As I read this scripture portion, I was drawn also to Ephesians 6:10-12, which describes the battle and the weapons we are to fight it with. "This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life and death fight to the finish against the devil and his angels." (The Message Bible).
Jude is passionate in reminding his readers of the consequences of past failures. God is merciful but also just. Infiltrators are not speculation. The evidence is clearly the same now as it was in the early church.
