The Epistle of Jude

The Book of Jude, the penultimate book of the New Testament, is a brief yet powerful epistle attributed to Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James. Written to early Christian believers, it addresses the urgent need to defend the faith against false teachers and immoral influences that were infiltrating the church. Jude emphasizes the importance of holding fast to the true teachings of Christ and warns of the consequences for those who corrupt the gospel. Despite its short length, the book is filled with vivid imagery and references to Old Testament examples of divine judgment, making it a compelling call for spiritual vigilance.
