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 certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved3 a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6And the 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 Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,4 serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
