Micah Reaves begins a study in Jude, working through the opening verses and focusing on the command to earnestly contend for the faith. He walks word by word through Jude 3, showing that this is a personal responsibility every believer is obligated to take up, and then lays out the gospel truths worth fighting for: salvation by grace through faith alone, not by works or baptism, secured eternally in the hands of the Father and the Son, purchased by the blood of Christ and given as a free gift. He closes with a call to stand fast, refuse to apologize for the truth, and never drop the shield of faith in spiritual battle.

“Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.”Jude 1:1-5 (KJV)
