Bible Matters 472: Jude Gospel of Love

Jude, the brother of Jesus, wrote just one book consisting of just one chapter in the New Testament.  It is the smallest book in the New Testament.  Both of Jesus’s brothers, James and Jude, wrote concise powerful books of the bible.  They grew up with Jesus.   They knew how he carried himself before he was chosen by God to deliver God’s gospel of Love.  They saw the transition from a man to a servant of God.  They knew the doctrine that Jesus delivered.  Jude’s epistle is straight up righteous.  No fluff and just the facts.  Very few deceivers can pluck false doctrine from either of the books of James or Jude to deceive the lost.  If you want a quality message on God’s gospel of Love, then go read Jude, until God’s word pierces your heart and your walk with God becomes pure.  Jude made it clear that righteous walk is required to inherit eternal life. 

Jude 1:21 – Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

You can be sure that God the Almighty wanted the book of Jude to be read, understood and followed seven days a week!  God is not looking for your Sunday only worship.  God is not looking for your tithes.  God is looking for your good works, your testimony and for you to serve him seven days a week.   God is not looking for you hoop and holler, by saying you believe in Jesus to be saved, submit to getting dunked in water and then do nothing for God.  The devil believes and he is not going to serve God.

James 2:19 – Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

You must turn from sin and not let the devil take God’s word and testimony from your heart.

Luke 8:12 – Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

God is looking for your change of heart.  Do all you can do from this point forward to please God and live his gospel of Love unto good works. 

Let’s review the epistle of Jude testimony on the gospel of Love. 

• Believe in one God – It is clear from the findings of Ron Wyatt and the Red Sea crossing, that the Hebrews escape from Egypt included the crossing through the Red Sea and the drowning of the Egyptian army in the Red Sea at the Gulf of Aqaba.  Chariot artifacts, human and horse skeletons can still be observed on the bottom of the Red Sea.  If you have read Exodus in the bible, then you know that this is the point where by the power of God, the Egyptian army was drowned in the Red Sea.  See  https://youtube.com/shorts/U5PVjN5qhMk?si=YsbfGbEtrxVyxT3w

 

God has the power to change your life.  If you want that change, then you must believe in God.  You must believe his word.  You must believe in the words that the prophets brought to this earth.  When God tells you to understand the truth out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, then you look and understand and live the will of God by the preponderance of evidence from the testimonies of the witnesses. 

 

Jude 1:5 – 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.

 

• Repent of your sins and surrender to God – Your walk with God begins when you turn from your sinful past.  This is the decision you make in the spirit from the heart.  No act of religion can achieve this born-again moment.  You can stay on the path you are on and forego God’s gift of everlasting life or look forward to God’s gift by starting with repenting and turning from your sins.  This born-again moment is mandatory for your walk to be pure.

 

Jude 1:7-8,11 – Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.  Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

 

Jude 1:16 – These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage

 

• Judge no one – When you judge you corrupt your being with those things that you know nothing about.  God judges your heart.  You judge from lack of knowledge and it will corrupt your walk with God.  Judge your pure walk against God’s word.  Do not assume righteousness by comparing your walk against another.

 

Jude 1:10 – But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

 

• Love God

 

Jude 1:24-25 – Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

 

• Love your Neighbor – When you love your neighbor, you share God’s word, to pull them from the fire!

 

Jude 1:22-23 – And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

 

• Keep yourself in the love of God, unto eternal life – Keep your walk pure, always doing the will of God.  The angels turned from their walk into darkness, awaiting judgement.  Pray to God always in the love of God for mercy. 

Jude 1:3 – 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

Jude 1:6 – And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day

Jude 1:14-16 – And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,  To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.  These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

Jude 1:20-21 – But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,  Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Believe that God has a plan for you.  Have faith, worship only God and go live his gospel of Love.  God rewards those that diligently seek him

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
