When a church’s leadership or members lead others astray from Scriptural doctrines, we may look back and ask, “What happened?” Jude provides us an answer: “Certain people have crept in unnoticed.” Such people, he writes, pervert God’s grace and deny Jesus’ authority. Alistair Begg examines the three illustrations Jude uses to remind his readers what happens to those who fall into such ungodliness. While they might appear to be getting away with their sin, in the end they will be unable to escape God’s divine judgment.
4For hcertain people ihave crept in unnoticed jwho long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert kthe grace of our God into sensuality and ldeny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5Now I want mto remind you, although you once fully knew it, that nJesus, who saved3 a people out of the land of Egypt, oafterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6And pthe angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7just as qSodom and Gomorrah and rthe surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and spursued unnatural desire,4 serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
