Jude


The church age began at Pentecost and will end with the return of Christ. This book is all about the great apostasy that will assault the church throughout its life, but especially in the latter days. In verse 3 Jude wanted to talk about our salvation, but ends up expounding on our contention for our faith, and the many false doctrines and false teachers that will lead many astray.

Impressions: This really is the challenge for us in our day, the ability to recognise false doctrine. This little book is very valuable for us in its warnings. The most effective way for false teaching to take hold is when the victims are unaware that the truth is being twisted, and that happens when we do not know the Word. Everything should be tested against the Word as it is the truth from God and it is God's truth.

Readability: 4 stars
