“Certain People”

 (ID: 3652)

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.
