Introduction of Jude

Jude, written by Jude (a brother of James and Jesus), is a short, fiery letter probably composed in the mid-60s AD. Alarmed by immoral false teachers who had slipped into the church, Jude urges believers to contend earnestly for the faith. The letter draws vivid Old Testament examples and powerful imagery to expose deception while encouraging steadfastness. Its urgent call to defend truth without losing love makes it one of the most passionate warnings in Scripture.
